JOSM already discards (some) obsolete Tiger tags:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/7915

And a similar patch 
https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4552 was applied to the
development Potlatch2 this morning, so will probably be live soon.

In summary, the obsolete tags that the patch automatically drops on
save are:
 tiger:upload_uuid 
 tiger:tlid 
 tiger:source 
 tiger:separated 
 geobase:datasetName 
 geobase:uuid 
 sub_sea:type
(this in addition to created_by, for example, which was already
automatically dropped).
