Geoff Johns drops a hint on Newsarama (in an article about his re-upping his exclusive):
NRAMA: With this new contract, will this be exclusively writing, or will you be taking a “consulting editor” role, something similar to what Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, and you did previously?
GJ: I’m focused on the writing. I offer suggestions and discuss ideas and brainstorm, of course, but I am focused on the titles I write. I have been since 52 ended. I’m getting into the center of the storm with Grant later this year too.
And with the new writer coming in on Superman, too – I have a great relationship with him, he’s one of my favorite writers of all time, and I’m psyched about moving things forward between Superman and Action. There’s a third writer we’re talking to that I’m hoping will be involved in this Superman explosion we’re cooking up. I want to bring the same level of excitement to the books that was there when I was a kid.

So who could it be?
One of his fellow 52 writers? Maybe Mark Waid, he did leave Flash recently and is still working on Brave and the Bold.
Maybe Grant Morrison, but he already has his own Superman title.
Giffen? He might be too busy with his other commitments at DC though.
Jeff Katz his co-writer on Booster Gold?
As for the third writer mentioned I'm thinking Fabian Niceza. He co-wrote some issues with Busiek so I'm thinking him.
