Hi Sonya,

As others have said,  a more specific list of the types of issues which it
is planned to address should be available.

Can I use this opportunity to suggest that Mapbox cease using the term
"linting" for this purpose, at least for public consumption? Not everyone
who contributes to OSM works in an IT field and therefore may have some
idea of what the term might mean. It is jargon and therefore should be
avoided.  Please use a more generally used common english word or phrase
which will make sense to people from all walks of life, and of all ages.

Jerry
