No. OSM is not a software project, it's a community project.

If you promote an editor that affects OSM data, you need to be responsive to
the OSM community. That means monitoring the communication channels favoured
by the OSM community and being prepared to respond to them. You cannot just
decide upon your preferred tracker and refuse to listen to concerns
elsewhere.

Chris has a better idea of how OSM editing works than you appear to, and I
can say that with some certainty having maintained the default osm.org
editor from 2007 to 2013.
