As a general comment, StackExchange’s tagging system seems pretty perfect (and battle-tested) to me, and I suspect we should just copy their design as closely as we can.
So, on StackExchange any user can edit any of the tags, and then there is a whole complicated hierarchy that exists for how to revert changes, how to approve changes, how to lock posts from being edited, etc.
Which is a solution, but it sure doesn’t seem like an easy or elegant solution to the tagging problem.
I think the peer review queue is pretty sensible in any world where there’s “one ground truth” that you expect trusted users to have access to (such that they can approve / deny edits that cross their desk).
