erm... looks like we got two pages now:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Processes/SRU

and

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU

whereas the latter is quite elaborate already.

While trying to look at the differences, imo it makes more sense that the 
sru-team acks the upload to -proposed. Otherwise an reject fro the sru-team 
would mean that the whole testing process was useless and would have to be 
redone.

Also I like the idea to have a separate sru-bug which summarizes the bugs the 
update is involved. That way, there is a clearer distinction between the 
discussion about a particular bug and the discussion about the sru itself. 
See [1] and [2] for an example.

What's unclear yet is what quorum the sru-team has. Since we have 4 members, I 
propose a quorum of 3. If this doesn't work out, we can still lower it to 2.

Btw.: It would be good to have a final policy soonish, since there are already 
SRU-requests pending:
[1]: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/68294
[2]: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gcl/+bug/43150
[3]: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/lighttpd/+bug/59269
(...)

Cheers,
	Stefan.
