The thing is: The autobuilders for testing-security are already setup.
Handling security-advisories is already semi-automatic. The
security-team already has access to vender-sec.
I'd consider it a waste of resources to duplicate this infrastructure
outside of Debian, just so that somebody we can't really trust does it.

Ah, ok. But please consider that one cannot upload security-fixes to
testing via the official debian repository right now. testing-security
is (not) handled by the sec-team and t-p-u needs explicit approval by
the testing-RM. That's why I did not understand your point.
