 Legend:

 editor - has the publish_posts capability

 contributor - doesn't have the publish_posts capability

 If an editor moves a post to trash, the post author is able to republish
 the post, even if he's a contributor.


 Steps to reproduce:

 1. contributor: submit a post for review

 2. editor: publish post

 3. editor: trash post

 4. contributor: restore post

 So, to prevent a contributor from republishing trashed posts, an editor
 has the following workarounds:

 - permanently delete the post

 - set the post status to 'pending' before trashing it

 Neither of these is optimal.

 [11873] doesn't seem to address this properly.
