Editing common name settings is a frequent curation task. It’s a misunderstanding that one would need to be an expert in any taxa to be a curator on iNaturalist. As to your requested policy change, there’s an existing feature request here https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/allow-non-curators-to-associate-an-existing-common-name-with-a-place/11232
