 I based my suggestion on the discussion about the compatibility of the
 Site Editor and non-block themes in the Gutenberg project:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/52150#issuecomment-1634480850

 In the latest Gutenberg (and in WordPress 6.3), the features and pages
 available in the Site Editor vary from theme to theme as follows:

 - Block Theme: Access to all functions and pages.
 - Classic Theme with `block-template-parts` support: Template Parts menu
 appears below the Appearance menu. You can edit the template parts of the
 theme, but cannot add new ones. You can access the upper Patterns menu to
 access the new Pattern management features.
 - Classic Theme without `block-template-parts` support: All functions and
 pages are not accessible.

 In order to make this new Patterns page available to all classic themes,
 with or without `block-template-parts` support, I would like to add a
 Patterns menu under the Appearance menu.
