You can try doing that with this python API,
https://github.com/balrog-kun/osm-scripts/blob/master/message-py2.py.
You'll be subject to the same number of messages limits as everyone
else.  The API may also break unanounced but it's been working for
over 2 years now.

Looking for some information about OSM not allowing for a messaging
API I only found a mention on the 0.7 planning wiki page suggesting
that a more complete functionality may be in planning.

Cheers
