We use this as a final check by a human.

When I was doing all these requests a few years ago, I definitely caught
packages that were not legally allowed or had a shoddy review at this step.

We can't catch everything of course, but having a trusted person check
on the two people adding a package (submittor/reviewer) is still well
worth the short delay IMHO.
