It kind of bother me too that all the roads I touch show up with my name 
on them. (I'm touching a lot of them, since I'm using the Yahoo! imagery 
to line them up). Now the original editor is not visible anymore in 
Osmarender. I suppose it is know somewhere in the innards of the DB 
though and only the last person editing is shown for practical reasons.
