Stable updates are handled by the security team and are made as
necessary. Testing doesn't work that way. Changes to testing arrive
only after spending some time in unstable. See

and https://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing

Tracker indicates that thuderbird will propagate to testing in the next
couple of days based on a manual hint by the release team:
Migration status for thunderbird (1:68.12.0-1 to 1:78.3.3-1): Will
attempt migration due to a hint (Any information below is purely
informational)

That repository is empty and is typically not used at all except
during a freeze when automatic propagation from unstable is disabled.
