Yes, exactly, I did consider it.  The tagging list is a huge and ugly pit
that many wisely choose not to wade in.
But a enthusiast for electric power mapping may be intently interested in a
new proposal to alter electric power tags.

How can we, intrusively, tip off the right community of mappers that their
tags are getting discussed,
without burdening them with "subscribe to the tagging list"?

Could Taginfo identify in "big data" form the mappers most affected by a
tagging proposal?
