I am in fact aware of the canonical list. Dan has already taken up
adding part of my changes:
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/pull/12/files I'd be
happy to help him. I don't think we necessarily need to coordinate the
mechanical edit and the correction of name-suggestion-index, though.

As the rest of your e-mail mainly consists of points that have been
addressed before, I'm not sure if it's useful to respond to them
again. If there is any particular issue you would like my response to,
please let me know.
