The more people start USING the map the more feedback you get where to look 
for changes. So the amount of work is the same but more directed.

I was a heavy user of OpenStreetBugs and i am now using Notes for all those 
notification. "Please look here - this looks strange - something changed - please
verify on ground".

But still its a big task - I am taking care of a City with 95k and a City with 45k 
Residents in Germany. I still lack a lot of POIs and its still enough to do with
changes in the road network, speed limits, buildings etc.

I'd love to have addresses in Germany - its the last big thing we are missing.
