For an MRE request or claim, it is the requester who has to provide evidence 
that the package meets the criteria defined in the SRU documentation you 
linked. Such an SRU would then a) make that claim, and then b) list the 
evidence to back it up, including, but not limited to:
- upstream release notes
- statement that there is no known backwards incompatible change or another 
potential source of regression (some upstreams highlight these quite well, when 
they exist)
- what testing has been done by upstream (link to upstream test results for 
that release perhaps)
- what testing will be done in the SRU (build-time tests, autopkgtests, and/or 
manual tests foo and bar)

There have been MREs that were once granted, but while inspecting the
upstream release notes for a particular release, backwards incompatible
changes were found (bind9 comes to mind).

How does that sound to you? And thanks for bringing this up, and working
in mariadb!
