In my eyes, all the data preparation is peanuts, and the real value is added to the import at the upload stage. This is where it is decided whether this import will be successful or rubbish. A sad example for a rubbish import is almost all of CanVec, which tends to be uploaded by people who think that the "hard work" is already done by those who prepared the data, and that all that is left for them is hitting the upload button in JOSM. While a task manager can help, it tends to invite contributions by people who are not at all local to the area just to "colour it green". This is undesirable in my opinion.
