Q&A Edit activity show, but not allowed to approve

Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue. It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or no...

Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue.  It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or not.  Here is what I see when looking at the pending edits in Physics:

Users should only be notified of pending edits if there is something they can actually do about them.

Thanks for adding the notification dot, though.  That's an improvement even with the above.

On a separate topic, shouldn't I have the ability to approve edits?  I've written 35 posts in Physics, and have more than twice the rep of any other user there.  Lighten up a bit.
