+1 for all of the above. In addition, I'll also need a way to search for change-sets I created with certain strings in the comments, and for edits I made that added certain strings to the source=* tag. As well as the licenses mentioned above, UK mappers will also need the results of the promised "OSMF Legal Review" [1] of the Open Government License, and the variant of this (which adds more stringent attribution requirements) which is now being used by Ordnance Survey for their OS OpenData products.
