[HOT] Idea: Feature identification 'forum'

I'm working on some outlying parts of Port Loko on #699, and ran into
what looks like a path, but it also follows in what looks a lot like a
watershed and seems more defined (in places) than I would expect a path
to look. I'm honestly not sure which it is, or if it's both how they
would align. (way #308060638, currently a path)
That got me thinking: what if HOT (or eventually OSM in general) had a
specialized forum where questions like this can be posted in reference
to a way# or node# specifically? Interested parties can browse or
standing-search the questions by tag (either OSM or topical), geofence,
or whatever. It acts like a forum topic for the most part, where
discussion can take place. Each can (as appropriate) have a poll with
options being full OSM tagsets, anybody who's posted can add a poll
option, and anybody who's already voted gets a notification when new
options are added so they can reconsider.
Unfortunately I have neither the time nor expertise to implement such a
system, but I thought I'd toss the idea out if anybody wanted to run
with it.
