"These edits look a bit odd and cover a large area, and they're being
made rapidly. I don't have time to check this right now"

"I know, I'll just ask the mailing list gnomes. I'll probably get 1-2
replies because someone must know this editor"

Or so I thought yesterday. Ropino actually sent me a mail via osm.org
yesterday at around 14:00 explaining the edits he was doing and
promising to add more informative summaries.

I'm really sorry about bothering this well-meaning fellow editor by
suddenly getting a tsunami of talk at -related messages because I didn't
have 10 minutes at the time to check some of his edits myself.

I've sent him a message to that effect.

Perhaps we could use something like user talk pages on Wikipedia so >1
user doesn't personally contact someone regarding the same issue. But
that's another matter.
