I think it would be possible to write something like this, either perusing existing hierarchies in Wikipedia, or evaluating OSM data yourself in a suitable server setup. Have a look at https://osm.wno-edv-service.de/boundaries/ which already does a lot of boundary processing. We're unlikely to add a service like that to the core of OSM but the beauty of OSM is that with all the data being available openly, such a service does not *need* to be in the core (and make the core ever more complex to run) - such a service can be developed and operated by a third party.

[OSM-dev] stable labels and resolution for main administrative areas, proposal
Hi, there are some initiative or project to resolve geonames at OSM? ... I am new in this list, sorry if doing some misconceptions. I am looking for a OSM's webservice where we can request a canonical place name, and it returns the polygon associated with the place?
