I suspect that it varies by community. My experience locally is that
on-the-ground mappers tend to use per-item or per-tag-where-appropriate
source tags; the most prolific local armchair mappers tend to credit
OSSV in a per-item source tag but that non-local armchair mappers might
use a changeset source tag or something in chocolate teapot territory
like a word in a changeset description.
Newbies of course don't do either because no-one's told them to (and we
can't blame them for that).

I think that the answer to that one is "no" (I asked a while back).
