IMHO, you have to be careful that the approval process doesn't introduce excess
delays because otherwise you'd encourage even more security updates not to be
marked as such (and if you implement the automarking when a security bug is
referenced, also missing Bugzilla references to avoid the security marking),
which would be counterproductive.
The members of Fedora Security Response team do receive mail
notifications about security updates. In vast majority cases we are able
to review the update within on (business) day. That is far less than
what it takes to do a QA or for the package to be in -testing
repository.
