Recently Reviewer permissions were changed to remove the "Edit submissions" permission. This is a permission I previously had and found useful, both for conveniently viewing submission metadata and correcting irregularities on occasion, including emulator version info and wiki syntax issues in submission notes. Some of that need has been obsoleted by submission cataloging, but it was still useful enough that I noticed when the permission was recently removed. (As for actually Reviewing -- I admittedly have not been very active on that front -- it's more been movie maintenance and cataloging.) I also have the editor permission, and I was sort of hoping the edit submissions permission could be incorporated into it. Editors already have the "Edit Publication Meta Data" permission and it seems somewhat surprising to me that "Edit submissions" would be considered a higher trust permission than that. There was some discussion on GitHub and internally on Discord, but the forum seems to be a more proper venue.

I made a recent change and all metadata that is on the submission/edit page is on the submission/view page. Or at least, I thought I did, is there some info on the submission/edit that you are still needing in order to catalog? I have no problems with submission edit being a wiki editor perm, and I honestly thought it was. But I also want to make sure the reviewer role has all the information available to properly do the work.

We agreed to add submission edit privs to the editor role, please test (may have to log out and back in if it doesn't work right away).
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Late reply since I've generally been taking a break, but looks like that permission was successfully added and functions properly when I tested it.
