Just poking fun @mattdm ,
Of the top three I choose #3 as most desirable, #1 as next with an added instruction for second editor to make card an comment about it as a reply to the initial pitch. #2 is pretty much what we do now with augmentation.
Actually, on further consideration, option #3 is problematic WRT the current workflow of the mag, in that we currently are experiencing valuable discussion around article spec topics, that remain open until the article is published, and often for a time afterward.
