I believe the ACL to upload to the queue is ~motu. Backporters (~ubuntu-backporters) membership is required to approve from there. Every upload gets held, just like an SRU really. I think any sustainable policy would need to relax that requirement somewhat, which would imply a measure of engineering work either in Launchpad or in tooling to interact with the queue. (Or something more creative, like giving everyone who can upload UNAPPROVED queue access, and creating an expectation of peer review. But we're close to starting to design a process here ;-) ...)
