Equating changeset comment quality with mapper quality is total BS.
Descriptive comments are helpful to other mappers but that is all.
They don't tell you anything about the quality of the changes.

I think that in well mapped areas if your contributions persist over
time then probably you are a good mapper. If your changesets are
frequently reverted or your contributions are quickly edited by others
then probably not.
