I don't know for sure, but the rendering on openstreetmap.org is called 
OpenStreetMap Carto and to request improvement I think you file a bug report on 
their github. [1] See also [2] and notice the brief "Reporting Issues" guidance 
mentions providing a screenshot and a link. [2]

Subject: [OSM-talk-be] Where to suggest/discuss the renderer?

When I first consulted maps - paper-only, at that time, of course - the famous 
Michelin 1:200000 had distinct symbols for (bigger) airports,
(smaller) airfields, and glider fields. As of 2018, the generic map of 
openstreetmap has only a single icon to represent anything mapped with 
"aeroway:aerodrome" - and all of them rendered as from zoomlevel=13 - and none 
below.

This is really very bad. Why should I want to contribute to a system that 
delivers poorer info than paper maps of 50 years old?

Even worse, many active and able mappers are reluctant to update the database 
properly because the correct info will be so poorly rendered. 
Especially in France and Italy, where I had endless arguments with people 
removing the "aeroway=aerodrome" tag from real proper aerodromes, because they 
didn't want their local grass runway mapped the same as CDG Roissy airport. 
Even if I don't agree, I can fully understand their point of view!

What is the proper place to question this matter, and discuss schemes of 
improvement? Is there a discussion site for the renderer?
