Yes, merge proposals, sponsoring, collaborative branches, etc.  Also, local
version control while you're developing changes, being able to better manage
upstream or Debian merges, etc.

In my previous 'bot analogy, there's one difference: your local commits won't
show up as a side line-of-development once the importer lands your changes.
That'll make the git fast-forward fans happy though. :)
