The linked post seeks input on how to make the existence of pending edit suggestions more visible. Right now edit suggestions can sit for weeks or months because no one noticed them. This issue is to explore the options and figure out what's feasible.

One possibility is to unify pending edits from all categories, instead of having to go to each category to see them, and light up that community-wide indicator if something is waiting. Another possibility is to leave the "edits" link where it is now but, similarly, light it up.

If we light up an indicator, we need to consider whether it can be dismissed. One approach would be show the number of pending edits (rather than a boolean "are/aren't" indicator), and leave it to users to notice if the number is changing. Another approach would be light it up when there's something new since the last time this user looked, but I don't know if per-user tracking is performant. (I guess we do that for the "new posts" category indicators, so maybe?) Maybe there are other approaches.

This issue is for an exploration task, to think about how this should work and what would be practical before diving into the code.
