How often do you install new packages from updates-testing?

I use updates-testing just like a lot of other people, but I've never
installed new packages from it, I don't even know how to see which new
packages are available there without listing the directory.

If you insist on having it go through updates-testing, then it should be
automated, ie. the first build of the new package in a particular distro
should get submitted through the errata tool automatically.
