Thanks for writing and asking for feedback!

(1)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tanga_Building_Footprints_Import
has "The import will be conducted through JOSM, where all building footprints will be uploaded at once."

I would strongly encourage splitting it into multiple changesets, one for some cluster/area.

If it is planned already then this sentence should be clarified.

(2)
"All buildings which are going to be imported are going to be tagged as: building=yes

This will be either residential, industrial, commercial, bungalow or church based on Building Footprints data"

If all areas will be building=yes then the second sentence seems not needed at all.

(3)
Is it possible to split

into smaller areas, suitable for review also by a bit less experienced users or 
people interested in a specific area?
