From my own experience it would be faster and less painful to
implement my own "patrolled edits" feature / queue using some own interface on labs for example, than getting anything passed through RFC on enwp :P
But if anyone is in a mood to commit suicide, you can of course start a RFC on english wikipedia

Currently, but you could always get consensus to get it enabled.
RC patrolling was switched off in 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28news%29...
NP patrolling was turned on in 2007 - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/patrol...
And the API didn't support patrolling until 2008 - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/40435
So obviously things have changed a lot and you may have an actual use case for it now. That said, I'm not sure patrolled edits is really the best option. It sounds like you want a queue that you can add things to for later review. But with patrolled edits, you can only remove things. So if *every* unpatrolled edit goes through huggle and is either reverted, patrolled, or left for later review, it would work. But if it doesn't look at every edit, then your queue is going to be a mix of "suspicious edits" and things that were never looked at in the first place.
Only admins, bots, and people in the autopatrol group would have their edits patrolled automatically, which means you'd have to patrol the edits of a large fraction of regular users.

OK, so the original suggestion I got from Nemo
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-September/072047.html) to use patrolling as solution for "suspicious edits queue" (which I proposed here http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-September/072038.html ) was actually not possible, because the feature is disabled anyway...

On the English Wikipedia, only new *pages* are patrolled. This is the case on most Wikimedia wikis, actually. See [1]

I was recently suggested by someone (and requested by someone else) to use patrolling on good edits in huggle, however after executing the patrol api query I receive this error:
<?xml version="1.0"?><api servedby="mw1130"><error
code="patroldisabled" info="Patrolling is disabled on this wiki" /></api>
Is it true? Is patrolling really disabled on English wikipedia? It sounds to me very unlike, so is this a bug and different error message should have been displayed?
