Description
I really like the threads feature. Unfortunately not all users use it consistently, so a channel has a mix of threaded and non-threaded messages. Some messages should be in a thread, others can stay singular.
Would it be possible to extend the redact feature to move messages to a thread? And could it be possible for admins/mods not only the users themselves?

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reading the Matrix specification sections covering threads and redaction, then identify how permissions for users, admins, and moderators are defined; done means the proposed message-moving capability and its authorization rules are specified consistently.
