Post owner should always be able to approve or reject edits

Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post.

I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should always be able to approve or reject a proposed edit to their post (of any type) because, frankly, did that proposed edit not exist, the post owner could just make the exact same edit anyway (or an undoing edit after approval) without any requirement for approval by anyone.

Probably a display-only bug. The "you can't review this" notice incorrectly appears, but so do the buttons. It looks like you can in fact approve edits to your own posts even if you can't approve others. We're looking into this.
