(Geo)JSON and OSM have different data models, so you can't just do a
straight "upload". You need to convert the JSON data to the OSM data
model. Additionally, OSM doesn't really have "layers", instead all data
is on top of each other, and most importantly, connected together where
appropriate. You should check your sidewalk data connects to the
existing OSM roads at the right place.

Those are the kind of things you need code/conversions for.

No-one's stopping you doing that! :) We can always use more mappers.
