There are a couple of things that popped into my mind immediately:

1) Simple authorization system of some sort - only people with
access level Z or Y could be able to send material.

2) A "Commit" feature for the moderator to accept/update/compare several
pieces of information.

These features are fairly simple to produce. Additionally, I think that
with some reseach one could very easily find an open source  PHP/MySQL
project with almost the same goals as the problem we are talking about
is fairly common.

What I have just finished is a time reservation system with three levels
of users: Normal users that can reserve resources, administrators that
accept the reservations and new users and a superuser account. Nothing
fancy, just a few extra flags in the database a few lines of code in every
script. Our next project is a simple Content Management System that
has the same type of ideology.

A few hours of work here might save dozens of hours of extra work
later.
