Comment (by dd32):

 > visual support during moderation, namely if the items “Spam” and
 “Pending” were somehow highlighted in the right sidebar (thread view)

 My thinking is a right-aligned bubble with the count in it. That way if
 you've seen something you can mentally recall "those 2 posts in there are
 waiting for someone else, oh it's 3 now, okay I'll go check", such as the
 attachment.

 > Using wp_count_posts (high-performance):

 This is probably a non-starter, as wp_count_posts() isn't very performant
 on large datasets :)

 > Using WP_Query (flexible, precise):

 This is probably a viable approach.
