Current policy [1] states that a SRU requires these elements: 1. Impact on users and regression potential discussion 2. Patch/Debdiff for stable releases packages 3. Detailed test cases to perform tests on proposed updates Sometimes these elements are scattered on bug reports and it's difficult to collect them to have a clear understanding of the problem. It happens bugs lack some or all of the above required elements, this makes motu-sru work extremely difficult since members need to keep in touch with reporter or getting informations from upstream bugtracker/VCS. For instance, I'm totally blind with bugs similar to [2], we usually trust reporter due to his knowledge of the package, but peer review is usually not provided there. If reported was *really* interested to have a patch as a SRU, I think providing required informations would not be a pain at all, leaving bug marked as Incomplete until required informations are gathered (as in motu-release [3], IIRC) will surely help motu-sru work. This will become extremely important if MOTUs are allowed to do archive administration tasks in the future.
