Contribute is intended to allow non-technical users to edit websites directly. When we canvassed users about workflow, most of them either didn't use any or had something very informal. Contribute follows that majority model: you can either publish directly back to the website or you can email a draft for review (built-in to Contribute). Publishing from a development / staging server to the production server is effectively out of scope for Contribute. If you have such an environment, you would presumably have a managed process for pushing web content out to production. In such a scenario, you would have Contribute users edit / publish directly to the development (or staging) web server and then use your existing process to publish to production.
