If monk A was /msg'ing the author BEFORE consideration, there wouldn't be a way to signal to monk B-Z that they shouldn't do the same thing in the meantime. Which is impractical.

Hence what some - not all! - do since some years ago, is to write ...

• EDIT: yadda yadda ... author messaged!
... to inform everyone else about the status.

But in absence of a better mechanism than this, it would make more sense if this "author messaged" was automatically created, at least for EDITs.

Hope my reasoning is clearer now.

YMMV (and you are a god, so, I won't argue against you! ;)
