Hello,

Andy from the DWG here.

We maybe get a couple of complaints a year about wheelmap edits (many 
fewer than most organisations get, and fewer than some individual 
mappers).  Of these quite a lot complaints are about the wrong user 
altogether (people click on a random changeset, which because of the 
size is likely to be a wheelmap one) and the rest are usually about 
changeset size.  As you can see from 
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=290680 , 
they're apparently working on this ("We know that these big changesets 
are annoying and we really want to optimize this. Unfortunately, it 
takes longer than planned").

I've mentioned it to them again (not some secret back-channel - I just 
mailed the parent organisation's "info" address listed on their website, 
which I got a reply from last time I used it) and I'm sure that they'll 
reply shortly.

Best Regards,

Andy
