I'm glad to see efforts toward distinguishing between posted and 
unposted driveways. I've encountered plenty of no trespassing signs on 
driveways over the years, some of them more menacing than others. I've 
even encountered signs that threaten people who attempt to use their 
driveway as a U-turn. So I'd imagine this distinction would be 
beneficial to any logistics company as well.

The proposal says it'll be limited to features edited by Amazon 
Logistics users, which is a good idea. Since there may have been 
turnover on the team since the first driveways were mapped, ideally 
you'd include former team members too. Unfortunately, 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Amazon_Logistics> doesn't list 
former team members, but you could comb through the page's revision 
history if you wanted to be extra thorough.
