What is the status of this?

I've taken a look at some of the locations of mailboxes in that data and
the ones I've seen tend to be poorly geocoded, to the center of
intersections for instance. This can take a lot of groundtruthing to
verify, as they are pretty hard to spot conclusively on Bing.

I like the idea of having this data on OSM, but how accurate is the data?

Also, how up to date would it be. The USPS removes under-performing
mailboxes regularly, but I wonder if they are in datasets, especially
FOIA'd ones?
