It wouldn't be too complicated, but it seems to be out of scope for the
patrolling feature. Mainly because patrolling is for revisions, not pages.
Assuming the latest revision for the entire page may be okay for the
FlaggedRevs extension but not for core patrolling.

This sounds like a great feature request for FlaggedRevs, or perhaps
FlaggedPages.

Another long-time proposal that seems to overlap with this a little bit is the
"Special rights requests queue" extension. An extension where users can make
request for certain actions to be taken that they do not want or are
unauthorized to perform (page moves, user blocks, user right changes, deletions
etc.)

Such an extension could then hook into patrolling of core, FlaggedRevs or both
to filter out ones that have pending requests for a certain action (eg.
delete).

The obvious conclusion is though that neither templates, categories or long
pure-wikitext pages are a long-term solution to deletion requests, page moves
and the like (as also concluded by Jimmy Wales' talk at Wikimania 2011).
