It would be really useful if Dreditor contained utilities to make reviewing CVS applications more streamlined for reviewers. Currently, those applying are expected to upload a zip or tarball of their module for review, which makes it difficult to use with Dreditor as there aren't currently any JS libraries to extract such an archive (to local storage, for example). In IRC sun suggested creating a web service to host the extracted files, which Dreditor could then interact with over some kind of API (REST perhaps?).

I think the end goal should be the ability to point all Drupal contributors to Dreditor, and have it instantly allow any user to contribute to the CVS queue, without any other setup required. If every day, a user visiting d.o could have a nice popup to prompt them to review code, I think the quality and speed of application reviews would be much higher.

Food for thought.
