I suspect it isn't done because it isn't a very good way to modify a complex embedded base of software, Lila. Generally, when modifying a complex embedded base, one designs first, iterates implementation and internal testing, and then releases a relatively complete piece of functionality.

We seem to really gravitate towards complexity on these things. How can we
make them simple, addressing a very specific need. We can complicate later.

Here is a scenario (which we should start with, not architecture)


    1. As an editor I'd like to flag a revision as reviewed/verified by me
    from the revision screen or list.
    2. As an editor I want to see which revisions were verified/had second
    opinion by other editors.

*So instead of a long spec that attempts to solve for a ton of cases, let's
start thinking about solving simple, direct pain-points, iteratively.*

Can we do that?

specific properties is needed
Most typically, I'm guessing you'd do stuff on a per-revision basis to
show quality indicators and such on page histories or article pages
via opt-in gadgets. Querying the entire corpus for articles with
certain characteristics would be valuable though, especially for
applications like offline exports.

I just saw
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Revision_scoring_as_a_service
and wasn't even aware of that when I wrote the email -- there's
definitely a lot of interest in a generic solution for this problem.
