At first I believe that security.debian.org could handle this, but in fact, it is more patching and backporting patches than new version for security reasons.
We also have to consider that a "innocent" upgrade (or dist-upgrade) could broken several things, specially considering things like PHP, where internal changes can drop backward compatibility.
So, it looks like a good task for volatile or a new line named sec-volatile (something like that). You can have a kind of "backport" supported by Debian and Debian Security Team. What do you think?
I choose to not elaborate a model or make a proposal because I believe that is better to discuss about how could it evolve, before write a "fast draft" and try to integrate with volatile.
