The question is if the benefit from having that data is higher than not
having it :-) We are thinking about importing the data in a way it does not
hurt but can be easily updated with existing OSM apps (for example
StreetComplete).

Yes, we have some contacts here and will reach out on different channels.

okay

okay, sure, yet we are wondering what's an efficient workflow for that
task. Advice is appreciated :-)

We don't have the exact date here, just a range. We might be able to
reconstruct the real check date from other datasets, or maybe can set it to
2010 to be on the safe side.
