I submitted feedback through the support hub and I'd like to know other moderator's opinions on it as well:

Verifiers should be able to verify runs when they submit or edit them. This process is unnecessarily broken into two steps for verifiers, who first have to edit the run and only then can verify it from the verification queue. Runs on the site very frequently require edits when details are wrong and the fact that this basic feature of verification is locked from people whose key responsibility IS verification causes constant tension.
