I'm not sure that is necessary when you can view them already via the 'Opponents Move' filter.

Choosing to timeout your opponent is a decision you need to make, just as chosing to move or accept a draw is a decision you have to make. I'd like to see the "My Move" filter to include any game where a decision is available to you, including timing out a game.

Choosing to timeout your opponent is a choice you can make, not a decision you need to make. As such maybe it deserves the extra legwork required (one click, one scroll from 'my moves'😉 for the luxury of the choice.
Deciding to move or accept a draw are decisions that you need to make, as if you don't you will most likely be timed out by your opponent. These options are both visible under 'my move' (draw offer is purpley colour).
I'd be amazed if more than 5% of anyones gameload had either the skull / draw decision against them. With 50 games in progress I can view everything via two clicks and two scrolls. I imagine it is not significantly different with 100 games going, maybe just an extra half second on each scroll.
