[Geocoding] Missing Street

Hi,

Ischlag seems to be a Siedlung (english: settlement, residential area)
inside a village. It surprisingly has their own website
http://www.ischlag.ch/siedlung.php

 From the drawn map it's not clear if the houses have the street or
place name Ischlag. Basically if the street section( and if so where
it starts and ends), should be Ischlag or the residential area. Local
knowledge is needed. Copying from Google or other licensed datasets
obviously not allowed.

The OSM geocoder can only find what it's OSM data. There's no generic/
global mailing list, issue tracker(*) or wishlist to ask mappers to add
or fix places.

Your options are to fix it yourself 
(https://www.openstreetmap.de/123.html), add a note to the map 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap), contact a local mapper 
directly (e.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/toledo/ who mapped the current
street section) or find fellow local mappers on the Swiss forum
(https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=30) or mailing-list
(http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/mailman/listinfo/talk-ch)

*) Well, https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/new is but depends on
other mappers to check regularly for notes in their area.
