[talk-au] M11 naming

[Brendan Barnes]

Nice work from the community surveying and mapping so quickly since early
opening.

There's no KartaView imagery of the extension, and Mapillary isn't loading
for me right now, so it's hard to weigh-in as an armchair mapper.

On sampling some of the ways (example
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/913115111), both name=* and
official_name=* appear to be sourced correctly and follow the "map what's
on the ground" good practice.

My only suggestion would be alt_name=* being the same as official_name=* is
probably redundant.
