[META] Roadmap for a better authoring UX

This is a planning issue for the roadmap to a better authoring experience when using the thunder distribution and its related modules and core.
We recently conducted a survey and user testing with editors from within the Burda publishing house. They are "power users" of this distribution in the various publishing website projects that are built on top of it.
Naturally their top priorities lie with editing and managing content, but there are other areas as well that regard features that need UX design decisions or planning too.

This list of issues is not complete yet and it's marked with [tbc] where the related issues are not created yet.
