I tried to convince them not to use landuse=village_green for hedges,

This is my observation in Germany as well, the value =village_green is easily misunderstood for any
"green area".
The habit is nourished by the lack of a well-accepted tag for such generic green area, which does
not qualify as park, garden or recreation ground. Often people cannot recognise from the imagery if
it is covered by grass, bushes or trees, so they look for something "generic green".
One solution would be landcover=*, being orthogonal to landuse, however that is rejected to be
rendered in the carto/main style.
