[HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

[maning sambale]

We have great training materials to onboard new mappers.  Maybe its
time to focus on developing more materials for validation and recruit
more validators?

The current tasking manager requires you to validate each task.  But,
in most cases, quality of edits depend on a specific mapper.  We can
do validation by user edits instead of by task.  For example, at
Mapbox, we regularly review every edit of our data team (to ensure we
contribute quality data and we are good OSM citizens).  Instead of
going through each task we review all of the edits of the user in a
given project using overpass, JOSM's todo list and validator tools.
See example here:
