The question in that case would of course be how the group of people 
supervising this list is selected and what the guiding principles of 
this project are.

But the general direction of your idea seems right - breaking up the 
direct connection between editors and presets, maintaining presets in a 
form that is interoperable between editors and offering a choice which 
presets to use to editor users and - in case of iD - editor 
deployments.  In such a situation you would not need to worry about who 
controls an individual collection of tagging presets any more since 
there would probably be sufficient diversity for this to be self 
regulating.
