Is this in areas with dense structures and instead of trying to trace each building the mapper has just traced around the entire group? Or the mapper has just incorrectly used the building key when they should use the landuse key? If the area is particularly large I would think the JOSM validation process might flag the issue via a 'building inside building' error or some sort of features overlapping/crossing error.
If multiple mappers from the same mapathon make the mistake, it may be productive to reach out to the mapathon organizer and ask them to spend a little more time at their next event going over how to map buildings and tag them correctly. While some mapathon mappers do only map once and never again. Mapathons are a great way to introduce people to OSM and also result in long-term contributors.
