[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Provide link to RapiD in edit drop down menu (#2708)

[Adamant36]

> we'd have to maintain a fork of RapID where we control what is offered, rather than the developers of RapID who might have their very own perspective on OSM community standards.

That's a ridiculous standard that you know they aren't going to go for it. Anyway, if that's the bar for being mentioned on the website then it should apply to every other piece of software the website mentions. There's nothing special about how RapiD does things compared to any of the other editors functionality wise and the "perspective" of the developers really shouldn't be relevant to this. 

Last time I checked JOSM is the defacto software for problematic imports and no one ever chalks it up to the perspective of it's developers. Even though it's repeatedly been involved in large areas of the map being damaged since it was created. What RapiD does isn't even on the same level. It's almost a joke to call what it does is an import that the developers are responsible for. Anyway, it sounds like they are doing their part to remedy things and that there wasn't any bad intent behind the mistake. Which should be the important thing. Mistakes happen sometimes. Maybe try assuming good faith once in a while.
