it's probably worth adding some clarifying microcopy to the submissions creation screen that helps people understand that submissions should only be added when at least a first decision has been reached (A, W, or R), otherwise you'll get very well-intentioned people adding entries after submission and misunderstanding the Waitlisted option as a catch-all for anything where at least some potential decision is still in the future
Therefore, we should have some explanatory text as to what the 'Waitlisted' (and potentially 'Accepted' and 'Rejected') option means on the Submissions form.

This should be “Explanatory teXt...” yea? Normally wouldn’t mention it except tests probably means something different to people scanning the issue list

Explanatory test for the Submissions form
Explanatory text for the Submissions form

(Me too, to the extent that I've become that guy who's always badgering people about these things... so I make myself let it go unless it's going to cause a misunderstanding. Or it's in code comments, because that's like writing notes in the margins of a first folio and misspelling them. But I'll be a little more lax around here now!)
I'm going through exactly the same process. Trying to let go, especially if there's no misunderstanding. Definitely "test" in this case is dangerous — and headlines of things should be perfect anyway. :P
