Hi Jochen, Thank you very much for writing to the HOT list!
I think you will find a lot of enthusiasm for helping get these fixed as well as improving our training and instructions to make sure we minimize new mappers who come to OSM through HOT and Missing Maps making these errors going forward. Can you send me something that would help me see those 1600 examples you found on OSM so I can see what might be going on and how to improve things in HOT/MM workflow to reduce them?
