I can't speak for anyone else, but there is nothing in any of my mapping workflows that would ever cause me to view such a changeset message. They're not very visible. If fixing this bug is a priority, by all means, let's do something like contact individuals, or post on mailing lists etc. Being rude to people who submit bug reports is never appropriate, even if they're the 1000th person to report the same error. That's our problem, not theirs. It would be just as easy to reply "Thanks, we're working on it, see #2501." > You seem to have just submitted a patch that fixes the multiple consecutive > nodes part, but the one-node-way part seems to be yet unsolved.

All the recent (last 18 months) discussion on that bug report was about the repeated nodes problem - although admittedly it was originally raised with a broader scope - hence my closing it. It looks like https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4378 describes at least one reproducible situation where single-node ways get created. (No idea about your hypothesised reason for #4395 being created.)
