I've sent him a message on the 3 (5 days ago) and another the 5, but had no 
answer so far.
Does the user get a mail notification of the new message, or do we see them 
only when we log in on the website?
The wiki is not very explicit about this: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact#Contact_a_Mapper
If it is only on the site he may never see them as he is editing with JOSM.

What worries me is that he seems to be copying some map, you can actually 
see it on the map (the roads are cut at a bounding box)
http://osm.org/go/0DVdwhW2-
and he even even added a way corresponding to his map
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/38566375
It doesn't seem to be correctly positioned, according to already available 
traces, load for example this region in JOSM or potlatch with GPS traces
http://osm.org/go/0DVdNL@j
That's probably the reason he moved the motorway.
I explained it in my second message.

More important is that we cannot know if there are no copyright problems.
I am doing some edits in this area, and I am afraid those might be lost if 
there is some copyright violation and the work has to be removed :-(

I did not find any corresponding user on the wiki (not surprising, I 
registered on the wiki more than a month after on the main site and not even 
with exactly the same user name).
Do you know of any other mean to contact him?

Cheers
