Over at peeron.com (well known to Lego fans :) they have already solved 
this problem for Lego set inventories.  In a nutshell, they track who 
submitted a kit inventory and how the inventory was obtained, and also 
track 2 (maybe more?) reviewers who independently verify the inventory. 
 May I suggest that gedasymbols do something similar? Perhaps tracking:

1. submitter name
2. submitter has fabbed (y/n)
3. Reviewer #1
4. Reviewer #1 method: a) paper verified b) fabbed
5. Reviewer #2
6. Reviewer #2 method: a) paper verified b) fabbed
