I haven't played with the tool yet, but I would imagine that in certain situations (e.g. the cohort is small, or the data is not being exported from a database, or transcribed from a physical piece of paper), having a text input field on the create cohort page that allowed a list of usernames to be pasted in (e.g. from a wiki signup page) would be much more convenient than creating a csv file. (I imagine that once unified usernames really work, perhaps the requirement to add the project name to the end of each line could be eliminated and instead the project to produce metrics for could be selected on the "Create Analysis Report" page.)
By the way, does CSV here mean any CSV or is it picky about what kind of newlines, separators, field quoting and encoding you can use? CSV is a rather poorly defined format, it's quick and dirty but easy to mess it up.
