[Tagging] Proposal to change key:man_made to key:human_made

[Jo]

Are they really people who see the tag man_made and go:

Oh, women didn't contribute to this! The tag says so...

Isn't it obvious that man in this case stands for its original meaning:
Mensch, ser humano, etc?

Changing it in the database is trivially easy. Letting everyone who uses
OSM data know and give them a chance to adapt to the change, not so much.
