But if it only requires a single editor to publish a variant, the others with the complementary knowledge might never get to see it.

Well, publication doesn't stop anyone from getting to see a page, and the publication process is usually slow enough that multiple editors usually see a page before it gets published. Generally, my own instinct is that if a game seems simple and obvious enough, someone may have invented it already and I should check this site and other sources to see if I find a match. But if a game is large and complex, it is probably original.
