The source:amenity tag should be a source tag on the changeset. The
changeset also records the time of changeset, so there's no need for
that source:amenity:date.

I don't know what this source_ref:amenity means, but from the context,
it seems part of your description of sourcing, which should be part of
the changeset, which is how we handle metadata.

As for "amenity", I don't think that fits. You may want to talk to the
tagging list about tagging systems for this.
