What about implementing a time-limited edit queue? Let's say if after you make five edits (which all appear on the front page), all remaining edits are queued.
The edits take effect immediately, but they are only pushed to the front page after X minutes, one at a time. (maybe set it to five minutes?)
To avoid issues with your own questions/answers, this should only apply to edits applied to others' posts. Thoughts? Also, maybe the edits should only go to the queue if the original post date is over a certain age (e.g. 6 months).
