 Sorry but I strongly disagree. People use their drafts for different
 purposes and I don't think it applies to the user friendly atmosphere of
 Wordpress to keep not handle better management of drafts because "users
 should delete or publish them".

 Also we see more sites going to group blogging off of Wordpress. If an
 admin or editor currently wants to clean out drafts, they have to click on
 each one and see who wrote it, when and decide what to do from there. You
 also get contributors on sites that can't publish and their posts become
 lost in a mess of drafts.

 A better draft management system is also a one of the highest rated ideas
 to extend Wordpress:

 IMHO I got to give changing the current lists to an unordered list on the
 same page a -1. There has been a lot of talk about changing the handling
 of drafts and if do this patch, even temporarily, people might think this
 is all that was done to enhance drafts.

 Just my 2 cents.
