Yes, there is a new quest in v10, which tags foot=yes/no. It is no problem to make changes on it, but let me first provide some information on it first, so we have a common basis to discuss:
For any street that has been tagged as having no sidewalk, the StreetComplete asks the surveyor: "Is this street accessible for pedestrians here? This street was tagged as having no sidewalk on either side. So, the street is only accessible on foot if people may walk on the street itself or there is enough space to walk beside it." When the surveyor answers "yes", foot=yes is tagged. The rationale behind collecting this information is, that if a street is explicitly surveyed as having no sidewalk, it is no longer implicated that naturally the street is accessible on foot (foot=yes). Roads explicitly signed as motorroads are not the only roads that are not accessible on foot. And this is an important information for pedestrian routers and maybe a useful information for car routers (because they might want to prefer routes without the sidewalk=no + foot=yes combination).
