I'm not that keen on this to be honest. Quite a number of developers and even technical users are running -proposed, and for a stable update it's always good to have at least two pairs of eyes on a change. At least in my ubuntu-sru time there have been quite a number of uploads which had to be rejected due to missing/wrong LP bug links, a really bad changelog, errors in applying patches, and the like. I also hit changes which were inappropriate for an SRU in the first place. I think it is much better to prod ubuntu-sru members on IRC with "this is urgent, can you please review?", and then sort out potential fallout on IRC for faster turnaround times.
