Done. Column R has now been added with the title of 'User ID/name(s) (of the user(s) doing the import' For some datasets like the CanVec data. Natural Resources Canada prepared small .osm files (approx 10-15,000 nodes each file) for the community to import individually and less strain on the Servers. And for other Canadian Datasets, its more than 1 person copying in the data. ... maybe i do need to make a wiki page describing the concept of 'Bulk_implopping' :-) ... since it's perhaps the most controversial aspect of this license change issue... yet many mouse around it :) However, for other databases (outside of OSM) it would be 1 user doing the import, as in the Case of the OpenImportsMap idea. Since this chart was created not just for OpenStreetMap's use.
