Have you checked the history of boundary relations to see who edits them 
most frequently in recent years? This person is probably a good 
candidate to contact.

I only maintain the administrative boundaries (admin_level 10 and lower) 
within continental NL, I don't know anyone who does so for the overseas 
territories.

Looking at the enclosing features (via Query features on osm.org) it 
seems that there is no administrative boundary relation for Willemstadt, 
only a place node.

I'm not aware of any open data for Curaçao that could be used to add the 
city boundaries like the BAG in the Netherlands.

If such a dataset exists I'll consider also maintaining the boundaries 
of the overseas territories if they don't have a maintainer already.

For further discussion the forum is a better option as most active 
mappers are not on this list.

Kind Regards,

Bas
