However, I think it might be useful to look at development practices for a solution: for example, we don't merge anything to master that hasn't been code reviewed (well, that's not 100% true, but anything of significance), it seems like something similar could exist for your web content. Nothing goes live without being peer reviewed and it's up to the author to get a reviewer if they want to release the content, which at least then makes multiple parties responsible for what goes up. People can still abuse the system, but that's a human management issue, at that point, not a technological one. -Ross.
