At present, tools such as MapRoulette (maproulette.org) rely on users to

It would be useful and convenient to allow external tools to specify a
changeset string fragment (suffix, for example) as part of the remote
control command sent to JOSM when the editing activity is triggered. I am
soliciting feedback from the JOSM dev community on this matter, and will
implement agreed upon changes when we arrive at a consensus.
While I am aware that JOSM caches changeset strings, it is also possible
for a use to employ several tools during an extended editing session, say
MapRoulette and OSMI, and users are currently burdened with properly
selecting a comment.
Best and Thanks in Advance for your comments,
Changing and modifying the changeset comment does not seem really useful
to me. But we can add an auto-generated "remote_interfaces" (better name?)
tag to the changeset tags, so you goal of tracking is possible. Thought I
don't know if it is a good idea to do this tracking. We are tracking
already a lot.
