I doubt simple rules will really work out, rules like that
one I had in mind "Packages are removed from testing once they have been

Maybe something more nuanced may work.

For example: packages are removed from testing if:

- have been orphaned/last maintainer-uploaded more than 2 releases ago,

- have no autopkgtests OR autopkgtests fail OR are notlintian/piuparts-clean.
