[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - exit

[Joseph Eisenberg]

The mailing list talk-blr has no activity since 2019 so it is probably not
a good way to contact the community there, especially with an
English-language email

https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=35 has some activity this
year, but you will need to translate your questions to Russian.

Many of the examples seem to have been added a few years ago by
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Prusaker so you should try contacting
them
E.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/64713202
