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.
Our wikis range in size from a few hundred revisions to hundreds of millions of revisions (and growing!). Building a scalable system is hard work and the Wikimedia Foundation has been pretty aggressive in focusing primarily on large wikis (Commons and the English Wikipedia), so perhaps most technical discussions tend to shift to the higher gears as a result.
- As an editor I'd like to flag a revision as reviewed/verified by me
from the revision screen or list.
- As an editor I want to see which revisions were verified/had second
opinion by other editors.
Okay, so... we already have this feature built in to MediaWiki core (it's documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Patrolled_edit) and we did the whole "try to flag revisions as reviewed" bit in 2008 and 2009 with a MediaWiki extension called FlaggedRevisions (re-branded as "Pending Changes" for added confusion).
I'm not sure what you're bringing to the table here. We've already made substantial investments in developing revision review technology that didn't work well as it was seemingly incompatible with the wiki model.
