Re: 'It would be very useful to have the "Recent Edits" submission lists (both approved and rejected) hyperlink the subject column to the appropriate publication, title, or author.'

Some of the links are easy to add: TitleUpdate, PubUpdate, MakeVariant, TitleMerge, TitleRemove, PublisherUpdate, PublisherMerge have relevant IDs stored in the submission, and the submission data is parsed in biblio/myrecent.py, biblio/recent.py, mod/recent.py (to find the Subject) anyway, so the cost of this FR is very low.

To link to records created by submissions, we would have to keep IDs of the created records together with IDs of the submissions that created them. This is addressed by FR_2800816 Edit History. There is a table (history) in the database for recording changes to the tables (currently used for Author updates). It could be used for recording IDs of pubs and titles created during integration of NewPub submissions (and allow us linking to the pub) and it could provide a link from author/pub/title/publisher to the submissions that modified it.

I have created a patch adding 'easy links' to the three 'recent edits' lists (biblio/myrecent.py, biblio/recent.py, mod/recent.py). We do not have a 'show author by id' script, so links for author updates are missing. Some of the bibliographies (e.g. publisher) do not react well to missing id, so 'update and merge' may create links to pages showing python errors (but IMHO these should be reported as bugs).
