I think the main problem with this was that anyone could mark edits as
patrolled. I have something akin to a feature request, which basically
reinvisions how the patrol thing should work.
Yes, that was a major problem. Note that any implementation must have
the support of the editor community. It's not much use if only a few
people are using it, so there really has to be a period of hype leading
up to it being switched on. It's only worth switching on if the response
is favourable during the lead-up.
