Duplicate Leads Concerns with Round Robin and Lead Approval Process

It is great to have the Duplicate Lead Approval Process, there are a few issues with the process that I would greatly appreciate taken consideration in enhancing.

It appears that

A Lead comes in
Lead owner assigned by the Round Robin
Check for Duplicate, If the lead is a Duplicate

the Lead owner gets an email of a duplicate needs approval email
assign to the approval process

This causes problems,

The duplicate approval process is done by a different level person, they do not get the email notification
The lead owner that receive the notification on a lead, can not approve the Lead
The lead is a duplicate may not be valid and the users in the round robin has now lost there turn on a valid lead.

Consider adding this process:

A Lead comes in
Check for Duplicate, If the lead is a Duplicate

assign lead owner to the person responsible for the approval process, send them the email notification
assign to the approval process

If Duplicate Lead is Approved

update Lead owner assignment by the Round Robin
Update Lead Owner and Approve Lead

Question:

If you have an email workflow set up and you get a duplicate Lead, will the lead receive the workflow email when it is created o r only when the Lead has been approved?

I hope you will consider changing this process, Our sale team is very upset that they are losing their turn on a duplicate lead and they are getting a email they can not do anything with it, but call our Admin. Does anybody else have the same problem?

this is a discussion, a question, idea and report a problem, not sure were to post.
