At the enwiki VPR discussion for this feature (which, it should be noted,
currently has 22 unanimous supporters), a couple of editors were concerned that
making this feature immediately public might expose unwatched articles to
vandalism, were the list subsequently shut down due to bugs. I don't think this
is a problem - if even 1000 unwatched articles were edited during this time,
editors would have little trouble watching all of them. But the concern
deserves mention here. The discussion and straw poll:

This is my view also.


What steps would need to be taken to have this feature implemented? If someone
were to try to create a patch, what files should they look at, what should they
be aware of, and where should they begin? (Though this seems to be something
for those familiar with the code, perhaps a few steps can be taken care of by
others.)
