New description:

 When a user is added to a make site with any role (including the
 'contributor' or 'subscriber' roles), they're granted access to edit
 handbook pages, including published ones.

 However, if they attempt to edit the page, they're forced to 'submit for
 review' which unpublishes the existing page.

 If the user has the 'edit_pages' capability, they're able to edit and
 publish handbook pages (but not actual pages).

 HelpHub has a dedicated Editor role, perhaps that's needed here, or we
 should just let all users (other than 'subscriber'?) on a site edit all
 aspects of handbook pages.
