The proposal of changeset tags seems also good for me but I consider that the arbitrary

it will be quite easy to split changesets to stay under the limit and avoid the
use of a separated account. geographical area limitation (by example country
scale) could also be hacked by splitting. that's why I personnally think that
purely automatic script without manual refinement are better criteria to
justify the use of a dedicated account unless there are some other reasons I'm
not aware of that make the only use of tags unsufficiant
The 'reason' for a separate account should be 'designed out' and I see providing
the base import as a public accessible layer as a stepping stone to providing
other tools to managing the data. If the import process maintains a source tag
of the relevant layer, then we can see what has come from that source, and can
hopefully over time develop a 'history' of the imports objects into the base
'layer' and archive deleted data into an historic layer.
