[HOT] Mapping in Ecuador - validation

Hi John,

I would humbly disagree. With the "Authors" panel open in JOSM, you
can easily evaluate mapping just done by one person, or check mapping
done by one person. We all know the tasking manager is not great at
keeping track of who mapped in a task square, only who marked it done.

So I still send feedback when doing mass validation (at least when
using josm), it is just based on the author's panel and via OSM,
instead of the tm's  who checked out a task square tracking. Usually,
even if I am just knocking out squares regular validation style, I
still need the author's panel to tell me who to "@" at in the TM.

Cheers
blake
