Hey Oliver,
TL;DR: sorry, but please test it from proposed (again) in Bionic&Cosmic.


Detail:
Unfortunately this is not how it works.
I'd want to mark it verified per your request, but I know that this will raise 
SRU-Team-Eyebrows and not be released.

I'm in fact already in discussion for a couple of cases where people pre-tested 
on PPAs and we later released as SRU which means they need to be verified again 
for the final releasing. The problem is the tradeoff on non-trivial bugs, you 
want:
 - provide something to test for the reporter ASAP
 - be able to iterate on alternatives
 - run more tests and tests by different parties
 - all of the above you want to do without yet polluting -proposed (as there 
other
   builds could depend on it, it could break other proposed testing, ...)
 => This is what a PPA is used for most of the times.

But due to the above that usually means we end up with a change tested
and verified from a PPA that will then in this way be proposed as SRU
(same code + some paperwork).

There the process requires that this final build shall be verified (yes
- again).

This mostly comes from the past were people didn't pre-check with PPAs, but 
also is needed to cover any gap as the testing of the PPAs might have been:
- weeks ago
- ran with other dependencies at the time but would fail now
- built with other dependencies at the time
- only one release was tested but the SRU covers multiple
But for the above and more it usually is worth and by the process required to 
re-test the versions in proposed.

I've had a few such cases in the past now and I have started discussing
alternatives, which so far all come down to do the tradeoffs above at a
different place - or to have the SRU process accept verifications with
identical builds (as in this case). But there seems to be no easy best
answer. Resolving that is a long term effort ending in adaption of the
SRU or Developers process - nothing that is done in a minute.

Until all of that is resolved, I'd really ask you to re-test the case as
built in Bionic/Cosmic-proposed and I hope that is not too much of a
burden/effort for you.
