And wait a week and hope the unlock request passes the vote and then go 
fix the data. And then, now that the album is unlocked, they can hope 
that no bozo comes along and messes their fixes up... or they can 
propose locking the album back up and hope that it passes the vote again.

OR.... they could just enter the mods to fix the data in the first place.

The only type of person that I can imagine would choose the first way is 
the type who likes to go through more hassle to decrease the hassle for 
other people.

So, things will tend to drift toward the "locked" state... which, 
functionally, is what we have now.

I think we need to get some data regarding the distribution of mods 
across artists/albums before we can forsee if something like this would 
work.
