Interesting. I guess you are not the only because https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deletionpedia exist. I don't propose we annoy our users the same way, because the downside is fewer editors. I guess its a choice on an continuum between general low quality edits and many editors and generally higher quality edits and fewer editors. Right now OSM accepts almost any crap edit you can throw at it with a big thank you and we have no really good way of measuring the quality of what remains after our sometimes spotty QA. I would like to help change that by providing better tools for verification and follow up of things you added/edited in the past. I would very much love a telegram bot flagging a new user making an edit to an object I help curate, but no such tool exist to my knowledge today. WDYT? Would such a tool be nice to have?
