I quite like the Idea (but need to ponder about the removal of the NRU group)
I'm not suggesting removing the NRU group. This would add more options for the NRU group.
Overall you would need two new permissions. "Can post without review" and "Can edit without review." For the second permission you would need another setting "Edit time before review". If you set this for 6 hours, any group with that permissions set to yes will have any edits they make flagged for review. You would for example be able to apply this to the "registered users" group and even disable the edit time limit if the forum admin desires. The time limit is nice feature but it's forum wide and that can be problematic.
For the NRU group you would need two new settings, "Number of posts that need to be approved" and "Number of posts that need to be reviewed". Their total would need to be equal or lower than "New member post limit:".
Prime Post Revisions caters for this (this would have been a very useful extension on one of my extinct boards).
If you are going to review edits you need some kind of revision system. This is actually a bug within phpBB. If a user is in the "moderation queue" when they edit a post it needs to be approved. If you disapprove the post, *poof* it's gone. The workaround is to approve and then edit it yourself if possible.
I don't think phpBB needs a fully functional revision system because you'll end up with a boatload of revisions for typos etc.
