Not that I get a vote, but I'm glad to see this landing. I do think the ~ubuntu-sru ought to be able to accept to -proposed and copy to -updates for current/supported releases. This would remove the need to make ~ubuntu-sru members part of ~ubuntu-archive solely for the purpose of performing SRU processing. I'm 100% agnostic on implementation. Similarly (and I swear we've discussed this before and it's an an LP bug, but I can't find it) I think ~ubuntu-release ought to be able to accept to -release and -proposed, but only for the development release. Similarly, that would remove the need for ~ubuntu-release members to be added to ~ubuntu-archive to process the queue during freezes. My agnosticism about implementation applies to this as well.
