I think we - the considerer - are somewhere encouraged to message the author before considering.

It would be much easier, if edit-considerations were automatically forwarded to the author with an explicit link to the edit form (by adding ;displaytype=edit )

Like that the consideration could still be realized, after the author stayed inactive.

> (Perhaps unconsider could be automatic if the first vote is "keep", and made by the considerer? Or maybe that's just too much magic.)

I'd say far too much magic.

It would be nice tho, if janitors could see, whether the node was edited since the consideration.
