I would like to make it so the "preview is required" option can be assigned to roles. To do so, there would be 2 basic steps:

1) Remove the "Preview post: optional/required" option from admin/settings/node.
2) Create a new access class named (say) 'optional post preview'.

It seems to me equally easy to configure and more powerfull. Thoughts?

is this reasonable or maybe food for a contrib module?

use hook_form_alter rather than a core patch.

Just for reference here's this feature implemented as a contrib module:
