It might be helpful to add https://figshare.com/articles/figure/JOSS_publication_flowchart/5147773/2 to our docs somewhere for people who aren't familiar with how JOSS works.

I'm not sure when it was added, but this is now in the docs so i think this can be closed? https://github.com/openjournals/joss/blob/b6e172fc9c7cbdfae350d819b165735da2b58d2a/docs/editing.md?plain=1#L333

the figure there (which must have been added a long time ago and I missed somehow) is old - the one I pointed to is an update.
