Personally I don't consider installing and configuring an IDP of your
own (a SAML Attribute Authority, really), plus Attribute Aggregation
at the SP, only to get a few "dummy users" into an SP a sensible
suggestion, if someone merely wanted a few extra attributes in the
SAML SP that testshib doesn't provide.

I'd much rather do it in code (of the web application) or in the web
server (cf. mod_env).

Or forgo the use of the testshib IDP altogether, of course, and (only)
run an IDP of our own. Still no aggregation necessary.
