Does he even have to? Isn't this covered by the trivial transformations rule? It might be technically complex, but as he used Nominatim, which is available as open source for everyone, the mere application of an unmodified Nominatim seems trivial.

In particular he doesn't add anything to OSM that isn't already in it, so there's nothing to share that would be useful to us.
