This can already be done, e.g. by uploading to 
'testing-proposed-updates' instead. The problem with this is that 
packages fixing bugs in testing will see less testing than packages in 
unstable, which is why the Release Team requests all updates to go via 
unstable instead and uses testing-proposed-updates only as a last 
resort.

Kind regards,
Andrei
