Here's a message I received for an add-on I had previously reviewed and checked the 'notify me of future updates' option:

As you can see, the review links have zh-CN instead of the default en-US. I'm assuming that the locale is set because of the main locale the authors set for their add-ons, but that doesn't make sense from an editor viewpoint.

I think the locale should be chosen depending on the editor, and if not possible then it should just default to en-US.

I agree. Unless I am mistaken, we can just drop the locale from the URL, and it'll just get detected when the editor clicks on it.
