They may have been updated by somebody using nearmap imagery, mostly trivial changes, but they would have been originally created via survey or from Yahoo. Certainly names would not have been sourced from nearmap.  Wouldn't it would make more sense if the source tag was only applied to changesets?  Even that is not ideal as in one changeset multiple sources could  be used, ie survey for names, nearmap for layout.

The vast majority of the information I personally sourced as nearmap
has been new content, and not just in regional areas there completely
new suburbs that weren't built when yahoo imagery was taken, or I
added source:location=* tags, I disagree about only setting source as
part of the changeset tags, while nearmap imagery might be used for
locations it isn't used for naming etc.
