it look like a good idea since both terms are synonymous and the 
documented key in the wiki is more often used.

if enought ppl agree with it, create a wiki page with a one-line 
proposal/rationale. see others AE for a template.

for ex josm using overpass to get all objets

if you want to do it, do it.
if you prefer that somebody do it, just ask (I can do it if enought ppl 
agree with it)

Did you check if objects with this tag are not having also roof:shape?
It is easy to change this for double-sloped roofs.
There is a problem converting it for single slope.
roof:ridge:direction=N mean roof:direction=O or E and you don't know 
which of the two is the only correct value.
There is therefore also a problem to convert this tag when the roof 
shape is unknown as it can be a single-sloped roof.
