I was just wonder if we could turn the aeroway=helipad wih "heliport" in
name into aeroway=heliport (not all of them, because helipad is
different beast, as you just wrote), but after more research I am now
more cautious: looks like many "heliports" are in fact just helipads,
even here (using CIA World Factbook data):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_heliports
so rather no way to make it automatically.
