I can follow this for changeset discussions, but map notes are notes with a coordinate, not referring to things we have already mapped (exclusively). This is very similar to diaries, which are longer texts with a coordinate (optionally), and generally dealing with topics that are in relation with creating the geo database.

PS: I don’t know whether it is relevant, but the text on planet.OpenStreetMap.org states:
“
Planet OSM
The files found here are regularly-updated, complete copies of the OpenStreetMap.org database”





complete copies of the database.

it contains changesets, notes, etc. but not diary posts or changeset comments (correct me if I’m wrong).
