Well, SRU is described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
See the 'When' section specifically.

As part of that policy, the bug is supposed to be fixed in the development
release first, and then can be SRU'd. So fixes are *always* first done
against development release, and then applied to stable releases only if
they meant the criteria there.

I hope that makes sense. Thanks for getting involved in Ubuntu.
