Unpublished events link/list?

Hey, there!

I have two questions:

First, to make life easier for event publishers who need to "approve/publish" events, is there a way to create a link to (like a menu item) a list of unpublished calendar events? I know that a user can select unpublished events from the admin panel, but is there a way to start a list viewing unpublished events? Alternatively, when "publishing" an event, the admin panel re-defaults back to showing published event, which makes publishing multiple events from the front end tedious. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Second, when I give a user the permission to delete all events, they also are able to change the event creator when they add a new event to a calendar. Is this intended behavior? (I've "solved" this problem by using a custom layout for the new event page that does not include the event creator field, but that doesn't seem like the ideal way to do that.)

Thanks!
