Is this something that needs to be brought into core? The content lock → module provides this functionality.

As the title suggests, allowing users to "checkout" content for editing.
If you have a large site and a lot of users, it makes sense to prevent users from editing files when others are working on them.
The current system can become frustrating to non-drupalers. Most users expect the web applications they use to do this. An actual example is Joomla!.
I would add the workflow:
1. User clicks 'edit' tab, system verifies it is not locked.
2. If NID is locked, print message explaining the lock, else show edit tab.
3. Administrator can set a "max edit time" directive to unlock "forgotten" locks after x amount of time.
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
