A full time job to monitor mailing lists, fora, irc, facebook, slack,
riot, ... :-) I wouldn't know what is the favourite channel of the OSM
communtity.
and don't forget to do that in tens of languages because complaints
are often done on local channels. I've seen this particular tool being
discussed e.g. on the German and Dutch forum.

The author of this tool is on this mailing list, but were are e.g. the
OsmAnd developers ? With some luck you can only find them on their
Google group, or Github. Or the JOSM developers?

Maybe we should inform both developers and mappers better where they
can meet each other.
