While it certainly is a concern that the project might be abandoned, the
concern goes beyond that.  The data in OSM is "live", anyone can grab a
copy at any time.  Someone could grab a copy while the duplicates exist
(even if they only exist for a short time), and they will probably not be
aware of your project, and thus unbeknownst to them, they will have bad
(duplicate) data.  Further, they may not have plans to update that data
frequently, or ever.
