Have you tried contacting organizers? Or managed to locate them? How you know
that it is Amazon?

> Does this fall within the scope of their original organized editing plan they submitted to the community on their wiki page? Like, it's one thing to use your own data to submit changes to the map, but using someone else's map data?

from what I see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities has just 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/Amazon
that is clearly for something else.

I would consider contacting DWG

> https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/108605478

I contacted this mappers via changeset comments.
