I would like to see rolling a full suite and not an overlay of testing.
For the experiment it's fine (in particular to not overload your server),

ftp-master.debian.org.
(I'm willing to contribute the required code if necessary.)

Some interesting candidates could be:
- fuse: security issues fixed in unstable
- digikam: fix a crasher (might be blocked by dependencies)
- libvirt: security issues fixed in unstable
