Thanks!

which "previous values" you mean?

If unclear, I will just not touch it (especially as some unclear may describe paved surface)
> Btw. I saw some German word: holz=>wood,        schotter=>gravel, verdichtet=>paved (it means        "compacted"), Gras/Laub=>grass,        pflasterstein=>cobblestones

Could surface=verdichtet be actually surface=compacted?

Is surface=pflasterstein a surface=cobblestone (underdefined one) or
can it be assumed to be in every single case surface=sett or surface=unhewn_cobblestone ?

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dcobblestone

I added
        # translating German
        'holz': 'wood',
        'schotter': 'gravel',
        'Gras_Laub': 'grass',
to candidate list for the next one (I will also review is any of them typically wrong
- using aerial images - and is connected to any obvious issues not already
automatically detectable)

> Do new categories appear and should they become official?

I inspect some sample of bot edits and before I run it I get info how many will be changed
- so in case of large volume of cases (re)appearing I would investigate what is going on.

I am also monitoring PMs and changeset comments on bot account - and I think
that someone thinking that it made a bad edit would write.

Does it seem enough for you? (I can also run this edit once and once enough new
or repeated cases gather then appear here again with similar listing)
