It is probably advisable to clarify that in OSM we do not map people.  People themselves are not considered part of the world geography.  OSM is about people mapping their own environment and sharing their local knowledge of the local geography - which includes human made structures of all kind but not the people creating them and living around them.

You probably did not intend to imply otherwise but quite a few readers of your text not familiar with OSM, cartography and humanitarian mapping jargon might get a wrong impression about OSM from your phrasing.
