This is already possible. If the maintainer does not think the package
should go into testing at all, s/he can file a dummy release-critical
bug against it. See, for instance, these ones:
http://bugs.debian.org/279702
http://bugs.debian.org/281369
http://bugs.debian.org/269911
If, on the other hand, the maintainer thinks the "cooling off" period
should be 5 or 2 days (instead of the default 10 days), the package can
be uploaded with priority "medium" or "high", respectively.
