I've not noticed any announced on this list, but if you're keeping
an eye on a particular area you'll spot the same names every now and
again making the same sorts of corrections to obvious misspellings.
There are probably a dozen of these worldwide already.<br>

The way that I read the current mechanical edits policy<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy</a><br>
<br>
is "discuss here first" (which you've done - thanks!). Some of the
"obvious misspelling" correctors probably pre-date that (and even
this list), which is why they haven't been mentioned here.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
