moderation

VBO (Views Bulk Operations, a great module) does an admiral job. I could only get it to work for about 250 at a time; 500 at a time didn't time out but instead weirdly caused a validation error. Also of note: Filtering by user, the autocomplete has anonymous as Anonymous even if you've renamed as Visitor or such. And there is no "anonymous" role to filter by so if going by role, it has to be an "everything but everything else" filter.

http://drupal.org/project/content_moderation – complex, most sites do not need its advanced permissions, well maintained, does NOT allow handling of not-yet-published content in the same workflow. Even worse, you cannot use Drupal core capabilities to leave unpublished, review, and then publish, because it takes over these settings per content type.
