I just ran into an area where someone tagged streets with source=google
maps. Looks like an un-aware new user who only had 8 changesets over two
days and that was it. What to do about this?

Brian,
If good quality TIGER data exists for this area and can validate the
changes then I suggest it's OK to change the source to TIGER, otherwise it
seems prudent to backout all the changesets tagged as sourced from Google
Maps.
The one-way flows can sometimes be inferred from pavement
Brian,
I have done that before. If the road geometry is incorrect in
OpenStreetMap due to inaccuracies with the source TIGER Files and it is
either incorrect or non-existent on Bing, but correct on Google Maps, and
we use bing imagery for tracing the road geometry, but Google Maps to
discover

source=google? You are not tracing a road geometry from
Google Maps, but you might be using it for other attribute data.
