And how does one go about getting qualified as a "good" application?

PS. My OSM-tile-consuming application User-Agent shows up as 
APRSIS32(callsign) or APRSISCE(callsign) where callsign is the actual 
user's amateur radio callsign.  I would value any feedback on the 
observed behavior of said application if it even shows up in your log files.

PPS.  Is there any way that application developers can even view the 
load being placed on the OSM tile servers by their application or even 
by User-Agents in general?
