This is an interesting proposal

*Legal*
As ODbL, the data is obviously compatible and compatible with the 
contributor terms. It would be good to get something on the record from 
Dero that the license is ODbL, either an email or something public would 
work.

*Tagging*
The tagging looks okay, but it's a bit of an interesting case - bicycle 
repair stations are clearly of interest to mappers, but for various 
reasons there aren't many tagged.

Dero seems to use "Dero" for their branding instead of "dero", so 
brand=Dero would probably be better. I would add details about the 
changeset tagging you're proposing on using to your proposal.

*Data Quality
*There are some duplicate stations in the data - downtown Vancouver has 
an example of two at the exact same location with different operators. 
Outside Seattle at Bellevue College is another example which is possibly 
duplicates.

*Fuzzy Matching
*It's hard to comment on this. What ever matching is used will 
undoubtedly need tweaking, both after importing reveals problems and as 
bike repair stations become more common, both as street furniture, in 
Dero's database, and in the OSM database.

How will it be handled if a station is imported, then a subsequent 
import run finds it has been deleted?
