I doubt Rourke and Joyce will be invited
Can't believe the obvious answer wasn't on that poll: Alain Whyte.
Alain Whyte has continued to collaborate with Morrissey right up until the most recent album. Officially, he remains Morrissey's songwriter so it wouldn't really be news that they'd chosen to collaborate again (unlike if he'd rejoined the live band).
He collaborated actively up until Ringleader. Some of his older compositions were used for Refusal but he and Morrissey had fallen out well before then and he was not involved with that album at all. He hadn't been contributing any new songs, so if he were to return to the fold, that would be a re-collaboration - it's been at least 5 years since they actively worked together. And that's a far more likely collaboration than any of the other suggestions.
But I hope it's someone more interesting - like Stephen or Johnny. I'm certainly not holding my breath though.
There's been a proper falling out between him and Whyte.

This is true...I've been trying to tell people this for years but nobody seems to want to believe Morrissey would cut someone out like that though. Wouldn't be the first time.
Yeah, I was pretty sad when I heard the story. I can't provide any details but suffice to say, it wasn't a amicable break-up. Are they ever with Moz?

Hasn't Mike Joyce sung similar tunes over the years in attempt to get back into Mozzer's favor?
Wow -- I had thought they had agreed to compose together and draw a line there. You know -- an adult arrangement for imperfect relationships. I hadn't realized it was a more permanent break & that the best of YOR was Whyte left-overs. I am now quite concerned for new material....
If there is no Whyte on the shelf (or an easing of tensions yielding new material), he would have to dig back for Street or Marr to bring the drama!!
