Re: [OSM-talk] Final results lost mappers task force
Simon + lost mappers task force: Thank you so much for this important work.

The first list containing (nearly) all non-responders that had created at least 100 highways, the smallest being around place 20'000 in overall contributor ranking.

I would like to thank everybody that helped in carrying this out, in some cases going to extremes to get hold of the contributors in question.

Out of curiosity, do you have any figures for what percentage of contacted mappers chose to decline? (Obviously some proportion of those that took no action probably did so intentionally, knowing the consequences - but we won't know which).

Re: [OSM-talk] Final results lost mappers task force
Non rigorous answer: less than a dozen I believe. You naturally have to differentiate between genuine non-responders which didn't respond because they didn't know (spam filter, invalid e-mail address, e-mail account no longer in use and so on) and decliners that didn't accept the CTs for tactical or other reasons. As far as possible we avoided wasting time going after the later group and they are not included in my numbers (a couple slipped through the cracks but in general they didn't change their position).

As some may remember from mid-February 2012 to essentially up to the redaction bot started running, the LWG undertook to get in contact with largest remaining non-responders that hadn't accepted the new contributor terms. We worked through two lists of roughly 1000 contributors each.
