Allow us again to see if a question is currently on the close review queues

For the past few months, there was a feature in the timeline of a post that showed if the post was concurrently in any review queue. Because this was present, it allowed users to cordinate their votes better in term of the following flags:

  • Low Quality queue

    This feature enabled us to see if the post was already in the queue's, if it was, we didn't need to use a new flag, and could save the flags for worser posts

  • Close votes queue

    If we saw that a post has been edited, we could use this method to visit the post in the queue, and mark it as Leave open, reducing the amount of posts in the queue

  • Triage queue

    Using this feature, we were able to quickly guide a question throug the triage if it happend to be a good question, making this queue quicker

This feature has now been removed because people thought the reverse made more sence on the main stack exchange Q&A, mainly that showing the review queue after it was done was better.

I am asking for this feature to be re-introduced to StackOverflow, so we can help reducing the strain on the review queue's
