Why does this have to happen for the complete distro? Why not do it on a  
package level? ie if there are no serious bugs for a particular package (or  
its dependencies), then migrate the package.

If the seriousness of the bugs were tagged in the bug tracker, then this  
could be automated.

That way, all packages hit unstable first. Those with immediately obvious  
bugs, like the 1-pixel wide suspend window don't migrate to testing.

The migration could be done a certain number of days after the package had  
hit unstable, maybe 7.

The other advantage of this would be that it doesn't depend on subjective  
views like the overall stability of unstable.

Jeff
