Special "Affiliate" or "Associate" status for Developers?

For extensions the review team will install the extensions to one of their test channels to test subscriber functionality

The problem here is that to even build the “Subscriber” functionality I need to have access to them, I need to test during the production process to see if it works, the “Approval” phase is not a testing phase.

that is not something currently supported

I haven’t used the Developer Rig in a while, but can I suggest maybe adding this sort of “functionality” to the Rig? It could be as simple as a spoof subscriber or channel point event-triggering button… if adding a special status for developers isn’t something you guys plan on doing.

EDIT: Just as an idea, the button could send a packet of info to the twitch API server, the server would trigger a “fake” subscriber event and would return to the frontends that are listening to it a JSON response that is a modified subscriber event, with additional properties like false-subscription: “true”.
