How about providing this minimal amount of mechanism:
a) A way of marking a particular edit as a "milestone."
b) The ability to mark an edit as a milestone would be suitably restricted to people, probably sysops, who would agree to be governed by discussion, consensus, policy, etc. TBD.
Instead of restricting the power to sysops, everyone (registered) should
be
able to vote, with clear criteria. You'd get something like the
recommended
diaries at Daily Kos.
*Or* the process of becoming a sysop should become automated so that most regular users are sysops.
And stating that only "high level" sysops can unmark milestones...
