I think the idea is more along the lines of having a read-to-use VM with 
an appropriate version of Emacs installed, with all declared package 
dependencies and probably additional tools as well (e.g. third-party 
community sometimes uses stuff like eldev, or buttercup for testing).

Then you only need to hack up a change, you're able to test it without 
having to install anything, then you do a commit/push/PR.

All this is perhaps less critical for Emacs Lisp than for other 
languages and environments, but even so, it could lower the barrier for 
contribution further.
