 I agree that the QR code belongs in the tourism=information tagging
scheme. From the wiki page  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tourism we
have

Information for tourists
tourism=information + information=*
information=office
information=terminal
information=audioguide
information=guidepost
information=map
information=board

It fits with the information section perfectly. URL on the other hand just
describes a website address but doesn't classify it as a specific type of
tag. Having information=qr_code tells us there is a qr code here. The
person adding it wouldn't even have to decode the qr_code although I would
hope they would.

Best
Clifford
