It's not obvious but I think it refers to the "by" line in the
description of the submission types.

In the normal "For Approval" case, it's the license steward who has
appropriate standing.

In the "Retirement" case, it's "license steward (only)", which hints
that there might be cases where a non-steward could do an approval
submission for the "approval" case (as has happened a few times).

In the "Legacy Approval" case, it's the license steward or "interested
licensee".
