Indeed "last touched" does not mean that the mapper is actively adding
e.g. historic tag. It is possible that she added a house number or
improved the alignment of a building.
Nevertheless, Overpass queries are a starting point to find some
people that do map around a specific topic, especially rare topic or
things that are not modified to often (e.g. onroerend erfgoed or
fences). It won't work for certain road tags (e.g. who is adding
maxspeed)
Perhaps I should just be happy to see whether certain features are
mapped all over Belgium or not. And that is perfectly feasible with
Overpass.


Glenn, I'm not looking for auditing changes, I just want to know who
is also mapping historic buildings or heritage tags or fences or ...
