A number of times over the last year I've seen documentation bugs reported I could fix myself with the online editor. Only to find when attempting to do so, that they were blocked by a previous edit that has not been commited as a patch. A good example of this is a recent bug report: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65370 I beleive this is the second time a similar comment has been made on this page and I have found the page still blocked by edits made by an anonymous user 24488.
Is there any way that older saved edits can either be reviewed and commited/dropped or failing that just dropped after a reasonable amount of time has passed. I believe in most cases that the user making these edits has not realised that saving them does not automatically commit and that they need to make a separate patch for that to happen. -- Niel Archer
