What I want to achieve is predictability for the maintainer, so that they 
can know from the onstart when they will be able to push their package to 
stable. This is particularly important if they need to meet some internal 
(freeze, release EOL, etc.) or external deadline with the stable push, but 
it is also generally a useful property.

I also believe that 7 days are already quite long and so (7 days minus 
infrastructure delays) should be enough time to test the package. If not, 
then the infrastructure delays are too long, so blame rel-eng or infra for 
any updates that would sneak through due to insufficient testing, not the 
maintainer.

That is also the best way to avoid the problem you identify in my proposal.
