New water tagging schema troopers strike back! :-)

As I've written earlier, I've asked Lithuanian mapping community if
rigid QA checks should be stopped in Lithuania. I stated that part of
the problem with such checks is sometimes angry reactions of people
whose changesets are discussed/reverted. So far I've received one
answer personally and two on a list: all of them supporting
continuation of QA job.
(In case someone wants to check my words:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-lt/2022-June/002717.html)
If this is a problem, I would like someone from DWG (but not Andy) to
contact me (or Lithuanian community) and we will discuss the problems
and possible solutions and safeguards.

Regarding the repeated false claims about me, they can be clarified
pretty easily:

1. Claim that I'm the only one in Lithuanian community (making
decisions, forcing other members, throwing out unwanted ones). DWG can
simply ask on talk-lt list if we have common/democratic discussions on
tagging and other matters on list and in private meetings? am I the
only one raising the questions? do I force the outcomes of such
decisions? have all decisions came up with the result which I
wanted(!)? etc.

2. Claim about all/most of my changeset comments being abusive. Total
number of changesets I've commented is 1,429. Frederik can provide
number of changesets which got complains to DWG where I was abusive
(not the ones where reporter was incorrect), I will try count and
present a list of changesets where I got thanks (like this one just
day before yesterday:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/121931916). Then we will have
objective numbers and not subjective impressions.

Numbers, formulas and processes is the way to resolution, not rumours
and biases.
