JOSM, in its latest versions, gives you direct access to the list of 
acceptors so whenever you select an object you will see who has edited 
it last, and whether that person has agreed to the CT. It would be great 
to have an automatism for an "in-depth" check that also looks at the 
object history; I guess we'll implement that next (albeit this can only 
be done on demand for individual edits, lest it would batter the API 
with too many history requests).

Just to get this thread back into "dev" realm ;)

Bye
Frederik
