I like the idea, which is pretty much how most professional blogs function. Except it's a bit at odds with the main problem, which is contributions. So I think a compromise is to boil it down much more simply:

Authors can enter posts. "Draft" status means "I'm still working on this." "Pending" means "an editor can look at this now."

Editors can move posts from "Pending" to "Published."

This is basically what the process is as documented in the page. With the exception of the Pitch status, which is in place to stop newer writers from spending a lot of time writing up an article that might not be suitable for the magazine, and not even get published.
