Editor has nothing to do with Review. You can moderate a list two ways:
Send= Editor
or
Send= Private
and set the subscribers to Review

Since your list is set Send= Private,Confirm
1. Non subscribers are rejected
2. Subscribers can post freely and must confirm their own posts.
3. Those subscribers set to Review go to the first named Editor or the
Moderator(s) for approval.

Coincidence.  Listserv is very flexible and there are many ways to
accomplish the same basic behavior.
