I think it would be very cool if you could install a package editable without the repo-url.
The default repo-url can be defined in the meta-data of the package. Background: I came across this becaus saltstack prefers the branch "develop", but most other repos use the branch "master". Yes, this is no big problem. I figured out the right repo url soon. Next use case: you use software third-party-foo-lib in your project. Up to now you use it as package. You find a bug and want to fix it. Wouldn't it be great if you could just type "pip install -e third-party-foo-lib" and now you are read to create pull requests? What do you think?
