If this fails and they are non-responsive or you can't resolve the issue you can escalate it to the Data Working Group by emailing d...@osmfoundation.org. We have some additional tools we can use.

Re: [Talk-ca] OpenStreetMap at the Crossroads – The Map Room
There are guidelines on imports and change sets can be deleted if they aren't followed but if you leave it too long it gets messy as others add to the map.

[Talk-ca] OpenStreetMap at the Crossroads – The Map Room
Interesting post [1] following up on Michal Migurski's [2] comments, "openstreetmap: robots, crisis, and craft mappers", which were based on his thoughts after attending SOTM Seattle. It's basically a treatise categorizing mappers and (inadvertently) creating a hierarchy of value or importance. I recently exchanged messages via OSM with a "robot mapper" who did a bunch of imports in my areas. I asked this person some questions about their edits, pointed out some errors and invited them to present their work at a local OSM meeting. After a few exchanges I received no further response. I don't know what recourse there is for this (imports gone astray) or if OSM plans to address any of the issues outlined in the linked blog posts in the future. But I thought this community might want to discuss these ideas and the ensuing discussions in their respective comment sections.
