Add time based autoacceptance to FlaggedRevs
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Please add a time based autoacceptance feature to FlaggedRevs. The purpose is to add a time delay before unreg/newbie edits go live and a vandalism patroller can immediately approve or reject that edit.

Purpose: Ability to delay all newbie/unreg edits by ~2 hours unless manually accepted by reviewers. A time delay for all newbie edits will help Vandalism patrollers and watchlisters to accept or revert newbie edits before they become live. It is for all edits in a wiki. Unreviewed edits can go live after the delay time (eg. 2 hours), hence there will not be any backlog or a conflict with "editable by anyone" policy.

It will facilitate a better alternative to WP:Delayed revisions.
It will be a big step in fighting misinformation and vandalism.

Please be aware of the fact that FlaggedRevs is not even really maintained, so your chances to have a new feature implemented are unfortunately quite low unless you implement it yourself (or find someone who’s willing to implement it).
