It isn't just for existing contributors.  It has potential benefits to 
aid the workflow of existing contributors (central location and same 
tools as post-review).  The other key benefit would be for new 
contributors who use the tools for the first time.  It would be great to 
provide them a very similar work area to how they will be maintaining 
their package after the review.
