Similarly a note where the user *left* contact info may be a note they are
*more* engaged in.

This could be resolved with A-B testing.  Offer 50% of the anonymous
traffic a heavier notes form and see what it does to engagement, quality
and closability.  I'd be more likely to leave a note on a more
complete/credible form, but that's just me.  I think a comment back from a
mapper saying 'we fixed that' is a *huge incentive *to return to OSM again
to see what took place.
