Xavier de Gaye added the comment:

The attached patch adds the '-X' and '-Y' options to the regrtest tool, 
allowing to select a range of tests and a range of their subtests.  The patch 
is missing the test cases for the moment.

Limitation:
Does not work very well with nested subtest (nested subtests are currently only 
used by the unittest test suite itself): subtest numbers are flattened across 
all the nested subtests.

Here is the sequence of commands that would have allowed to find the subtest 
responsible for the crash in test_capi at issue 22588, without modifying any 
code:
./python -m test -X "[]" test_capi                  # Get the test count: 18 
tests.
./python -m test -X "range(1,10)" -R 23:23 test_capi            # pass
./python -m test -X "range(10,15)" -R 23:23 test_capi           # pass
./python -m test -X "range(15,17)" -R 23:23 test_capi           # pass
./python -m test -X "[17]" -R 23:23 test_capi                   # pass
./python -m test -X "[18]" -R 23:23 test_capi                   # fail
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "[]" test_capi        # Test 18 has 35 subtests.
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "range(1,19)" -R 23:23 test_capi  # fail
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "range(1,10)" -R 23:23 test_capi  # fail
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "range(1,6)" -R 23:23 test_capi   # pass
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "range(6,8)" -R 23:23 test_capi   # pass
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "[8]" -R 23:23 test_capi          # pass
./python -m test -X "[18]" -Y "[9]" -R 23:23 test_capi          # fail

Output of the last command:
Test# 18: test__testcapi
subTest# 9: internal, {'name': 'test_incref_decref_API'}
