I do think OSM is slowly moving to such a system, at least in areas that have an active community and are well mapped. I try to collect Mapillary imagery and one of the reasons is it provides a reference for my change, other's who do the same make the data quality a bit higher because others can verify remotely from the imagery. If I see a suspicious change, I'll post a changeset comment asking if they are sure and if it changed recently especially when I have visited there recently and seems unlikely it would have changed since.
