One approach is to look up the most frequent mappers of the feature of
interest.

There are several ways to do this, including a new proposed feature in JOSM:



That's a list of people who edited amenity=bicycle_repair_stand

The full expression of that might be the concept of a community of people
who "edit things like I edit". If I start editing campgrounds for example,
perhaps the editor shows a chat window open to other people editing
campgrounds.
