I think it could be good for the publication process, except I doubt that regular members or novice inventors (like myself) should have a voting right on submissions. I think it would be better to save the voting right (or duty) for the senior members of the community - they have a better understanding of the chess variation subject, experience in writing (and reading) good submissions and, what is also important - have seen a lot of variants and could easily spot repetitions or occasional plagiarisms.
