We have all kinds of buggy packages - anybody who is not aware of this
and likes to spent some time on the bugs have a look here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org
It is not that all bugs are hard to fix - some have patches attached
which just need to be applied in VCS and a build test would help to make
sure a sponsor just needs to upload. There is also the maintainers
dashboard
https://udd.debian.org/dmd/?email1=debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org&email2=&email3=&packages=&ignpackages=&format=html
which provides information about other problems like packages of other
maintainers / teams that are buggy and prevent a testing migration. It
makes perfectly sense to lend a helping hand there as well.

Testing will uncover not yet detected problems. The bug tracking
system contains *detected* problems we just need to fix.
Kind regards
