I doubt that the IP address I use to send the form nor the time I send
it is made public for anyone anyway. Google gets to know this. It's
probably not very important information, but still it is information.
Another (and, I think, more important) reason not to use Google's
services: OSMF probably hasn't a binding contract with Google. So,
Google may discontinue the services needed to transmit my submission to
OSMF any time for no reason and even without notice to OSMF. That would
be OK for arranging for some mapping event or something alike. But it's
not good enough for an organisation clearing the legal status of its
members.
