This is a feature request for a new editor tool, but that I think can help smoothing the review process a lot.

(In the next lines, "I" refers to the currently logged in editor.)

It would be good to have a list of the addons that are either pending
approval or pending update that I have already reviewed. That means
addons that I have rejected that have been submitted again, and addons
that I have approved (either the first time or an update) and are now pending an update.

Since I've already done a review of that add-on, I can check if the
author did what I requested, and do a new review faster. So after a
first reject, the next review would come sooner. Currently all these
re-submitted addons are just buried in the list of pending addons. Sometimes addons developers have to wait months for a second review after they fixed a trivial issue (such as Javascript variables in the global context).

Of course, since several editors may have reviewed a given add-on, it may appear on the "My Queue" of several editors. It's OK, it will just disappear from everyone's list as soon a one person reviews it.


Reproducible: Always

I'm going to tentatively forward-dupe this to bug 478348 which I think provides the same functionality.  If you disagree, speak up.
