i have seen two suggestions of which import to use when importing data - personal accounts belonging to the mappers doing the import, and an acount created specifically for the import. which is preferable, and why?
The preferred approach is definitely a separate account for that import. There are other ways to identify the import, even if a separate account is not used, but such solutions take more time from those who might need to inspect / change something directly related to the import.
If you don't already have and regularly check multiple email addresses, this can be a challenge. With GMail, there is a way to create an alias for the import account, but a message from anyone trying to contact you will show up in the inbox:
