If nobody is testing your packages sitting in updates-testing, then maybe the
users of that package aren't hitting whatever you're fixing or aren't otherwise
having other issues.  What is the benefit of pushing an update if nobody cares?

Also, doing an _update_ to fix a BR seems rather absurd.  If there is no
functional change to the package when doing the BR change, then there is really
no reason to push an update for that.  The same is true for spec file comment
changes, or any other change that has no real impact to the package at runtime.
