Not at all. But a craigslist-like anonymous email would work fine. The user enters a real email address, and osm.org promises to forward only map update notices to it (or some version of that). Have a look at the model articulated by Nir Eyal to try and describe why sites like Pinterest and Instagram took off. The model posits that successful properties entice people to take an action (post a note), get a reward (a return email saying the note was useful), they feel a sense of investment and are triggered to make another action (say, another note, or a map edit): http://www.nirandfar.com/2012/03/how-to-manufacture-desire.html The model is not a perfect fit, but it's close.
