Mmmmh, I hope that this means that extending the same mechanism for
stable-security is not too hard...

This is unfortunate!   :-(
I am enjoying running Debian testing more than running Debian stable:
I would like to be able to continue to do so...

What can be done to rectify this situation?

The last call for help on debian-devel-announce, AFAICT, was included
in the "Bits from Testing Security team", dated June 2008:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/06/msg00006.html
The previous one was sent on March 2008:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/03/msg00007.html

By re-taking a look at the latter, I get confirmation that I do *not*
qualify as a potential new member for the Testing Security team,
unfortunately.

Maybe a new call for help could be sent to debian-devel-announce
and/or to other places where interested potential new members could
hide?
