If you're interested in tracking SRUs then you might find it more 
instructive to watch the bugs that ~ubuntu-sru are subscribed to

   https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sru

(this query could do with some refining), the pending SRU report

   http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

which shows already-uploaded SRUs that need verification, or the 
UNAPPROVED queues for the various stable releases, for example

   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=

which shows uploads into -proposed that have yet to be 
accepted/rejected. The patch pilot reports just document what a sponsor 
did to get a fix into the archive; these links let you see tangible 
outcomes.

HTH,
Iain
