Hi Mateusz, Thanks for your feedback! There are really not that many of this type of buildings in the dataset, most of the buildings are nicely squared or circulized. By the manual verification of the data, we’ll of course compare and adapt the building data with the latest imagery that we have available on OpenStreetMap – the Maxar Premium Imagery. We’ll correct with help of that imagery and of course in all cases nicely square corners of the weird shapes. There will really not be a ‘soul-crushing cleanup’ needed after this import.
Would you rather propose to leave these buildings out? We could do that as well, but I would prefer not to, since this means we will have an incomplete dataset in the area. I’d rather choose for correcting the shapes with help of available imagery.

There are not that many of these. Since we are not able to check back with the original imagery, we’ll have to trust the dataset we want to import for this and will upload the data. Of course by looking at the data manually we would be able to spot areas with real issues with this and then we can still decide to not upload that data. So clearly suspicious shapes such as this trapeizodal ones will be skipped and everything else without blatant mistakes will be imported without verification? That seems to be a bad idea and I am opposed to such import. It will just burden any community of mappers that may appear with soul-crushing cleanup.
