 Most of them are probably 
way below the OSMF radar.

Frederic, many national chapters are doing a great job and we have to count on them to organize the mapping community and let it progress.The governance question we should adress is respective responsabilities of local chapters and the DWG group.  And obviously, it is quite difficult to have the OSMF groups accept adressing this problem.

Is it possible that a simple "JOSM did not report anything obvious" takes the place of the careful review? I am pretty sure that above a certain number, a proper quality review is simply not possible, and it is there that imports start.
