Yes there is a module that do that. Unfortunatly I don't remember the
name and I can't find it on drupal.org. Search in the module pages
(there is revision in the title if I remember correctly)

You can do that with the workflow module

Or you can use the Views module to build such a page

Very easy with pathauto
