Does this page exist for Ubuntu? Where is it linked from?

Yes, and I think this is actually the better way to find reviews. It doesn't
currently suit my needs fully though, as there isn't a "Reviews I can do."
That then doesn't work too well for package branches, partly because
of the way in which upload permissions are structured in Ubuntu. It would be
fantastic to fix that, which is what I was referring to.
