Comment (by JoshuaWold):

 1. Is pending review conditional on the workflow? For instance, does it
 only show up if I’m not authorized to publish? Or could it also be used by
 people who have publish authority?

 2. Showing other changesets in the panel - The work done on #21666 would
 make a lot of sense to incorporate. I’ve started by pulling in some of the
 UI elements. What if we have the changeset title default to the date/time
 for now, and later we can look at using the labels from their settings?
 (https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-snapshots/issues/152)

 3. Editing changesets - Good points, I like starting simple for now. I’ve
 added a “Customize” button to each changeset which will allow you to open
 that changeset and show it’s active status with a checkmark. The
 publish/schedule status of each changeset can be viewed by expanding them.

 4. How we’d handle conflicts - Agreed that this needs to be figured out.
 Not sure the best approach yet.

 > Could we start more minimally, without the ability to preview/trash
 concurrent changesets? I think 2.1 is a good first step.
 I’m ok with getting something simple out the door and then revisiting.

 > Can we use a different word? I had zero idea what "changeset" meant
 until it was actually explained to me. Can we just call them drafts in the
 UI?
 I’m good with that. Any concerns @westonruter ?
