I'd say one of these:

I'll find out in three weeks [who corrects / who's corrected] me the most.
In three weeks I'll find out [who corrects / who's corrected] me the most.

who corrects me the most in general; who has the habit of correcting me the most; who has the greatest tendency to correct me.
who has corrected me the most by a sy

Why has corrected is correct? I remember that present perfect tense cannot be used to suggest future, can it?

I will find out in ... who (will) have corrected...

By the time I (will) have finished ... I will

It is okay to use the resent perfect to refer to a future time.

Tense simplification. In the subordinate clause we usually simplify the tense.
