Yes, systematical approach matters :) But as to me it is quite simple feature, and in right hands (pointing at Ben ;), it can be implemented quite easily. In Nautilus there as many features which has similar concepts (need to change browser's context) - like navigation history. I guess combining it with unaccepted edits won't take much effort to implement.
