I would like to second that. Even as a developer I like to do two passes - 
first is done with lintool, while I tweak an ebuild in my "live" tree (and I 
do have them separate, - gives me quite a bit of flexibility in tweaking 
without a risk of inadvertedly committing some local changes to the global 
tree) and then using repoman to finalize all "distributed" stuff, like 
digests, etc. in the cvs tree. Nothing beats lintool (so far and if you know 
your way around it) for the first checks that involve the ebuild itself..
