I've contacted a couple of people who submitted through me to tell
them there were problems with their items. One of them (who had a
guaranteed return on her hands) withdrew the submission and later
submitted something better. I'm not sure that really constitutes a
"fix", though.
The submitter of item 26 on the August ILoI changed her mind about
the form of her name in response to comments, and used ACE to notify
the College. She's a commenting herald, so I don't know whether
that's a (2) or a (4).
One of my consultation clients recently contacted me to ask whether
he needed to do anything to bolster his badge submission, because one
of the commenting heralds had raised a question about its style. I
didn't think he did, but I'd still see that as an instance of (4).
