Comment (by paaljoachim):

 Mel's Publish Settings - Drafting Flow.png is really good.
 As it shows the additional saving options as a drop down directly in the
 Publish area. Publish, Save draft, schedule works well.  The same feature
 should also be added to Gutenberg.

 I am also thinking that there should be an Site Status panel that gives an
 extra confirmation of what is going on with the site:

 Detailed view. As it opens up the opportunity to additional features later
 on.

 Regarding '''moving the publish section to the right''' as in Mel's:
 Publish Settings - Alternate Layout.png pushes the publish area away from
 where the various settings are. It creates a disconnection. (It also bring
 a top bar making the viewing space smaller.) The best place for it at
 present time as the customizer looks like it does is to keep it where it
 is and add the drop down.
