The goal is to have external tools looking at all pull request, running tests, and giving quality feedback to opam-repository gatekeepers. Pull requests are also a good place to start discussion about packages. This can be done outside of github (on a mailing list for instance) but that's mean reinventing the wheel as github pull-request worflow is actually specifically designed for this. But as I said, I'm happy to help people submit packages more easily, so having an 'opam-tools' package with command-line interfaces to help packager could be a good idea.
