This will probably lead to duplicate entries, because what if you add a
road that has already been added by another mapper? Then you wouldn't
see that contribution and create duplicate entries.

This is like the auto-conversion tools, useful but potentially damaging,
so this should come with a big warning about this issue if implemented
at all.
