Nice (and welcome to MSE!). Related: blackgreen's "tag curator" role proposal, which proposes that users with a bronze tag badge have edit privileges for questions with that tag even when that user is below 2k rep. Also related: edit suggestor streak-trust mechanism proposal.

@starball A balanced combination of these ideas would be great imho!

I'll probably be unpopular for saying so, but I don't think this is a good idea, nor do I think it really necessary. IMO, the 2k limit is not unreasonable.

I wonder if a good edit history on one site should be valued on other sites. I find it very frustrating to see a needed edit on a site where I do not have an account or only low rep and know that my edit there will get into the waiting list, (sometimes hanging out for weeks.)
