Where to see the list of merges/uploads that need review?

Hi!

I'm feeling worried and mildly demotivated that my merge proposal has
been sitting here for 10 days:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~statik/ubuntu/lucid/protobuf/merge-bug502654/+merge/17571

I asked about this the other day in #ubuntu-devel, and ScottK
mentioned that it's normal to have delays at this stage in the cycle,
so I waited a bit longer.

Today I thought, how can I take my energy worrying about whether my
contribution is going to be ignored, and do something useful instead?
So I tried to find out how many other merge proposals were pending and
have no reviews yet, to see if I could do something useful by
reviewing contributions from other people who are in the same boat.
And then I realized I can't find anything like the +activereviews
pages I use so often with Launchpad when working on upstream projects.

If I look at https://edge.launchpad.net/~statik/+merges I see all 223
merge proposals that I've ever created. If I look at
https://edge.launchpad.net/~statik/+activereviews I can see merge
proposals that I've commented on and have not yet landed, and merge
proposals that I'm waiting on to be reviewed. If I look at
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntuone/+activereviews I can see a list
(for all of the subprojects) of requested reviews that I can do, and
another list of approved branches that need to be merged.

Is there anything similar for ubuntu distributed development merges, a
particular queue to look at to see what is pending?

Before starting to use ubuntu-distributed-development, I would have
filed a bug, attached some sort of debdiff, and subscribed the
appropriate -sponsors team, but I thought merge proposals were the hot
new way to do things. The first time, I tried to find someone directly
to review my merge and that worked ok - my first udd merge was for
erlang, and I saw pitti had touched it last so I just asked him
directly, and he uploaded right away. But that doesn't seem scalable
or efficient compared to having a pool of things that need reviewing.

Any advice for me?
