I agree that a separate client using Web Services would be a better interface for reviewing, as the Web interface tends to slow things down. Gathering dust on my to-do list is experimenting with the Web Services that are currently offered, along with a local installation of the validator, to at least generate lists of feeds that can be approved (or that need to be marked for repair in similar ways). That would allow me to streamline/minimize the actions performed direclty through the Web interface.
Unfortunately, other than downloading Python so I can try running the validator locally, I haven't made much progress on that project.
