It's funny, I was having the same idea recently while using the JOSM validator
on "finished" areas of TM projects.
JOSM validator already has a big red error category for duplicate buildings
(where there is 100% overlap). This crops up a bit in our finished projects,
but it shouldn't really.
I certainly have noticed this. It drives me nuts to be honest.
I remember during the Nepal response mapping I did nothing but fixing up ugly
square bits of forest. I think a few other people joined in with this too,
because these days I can see we've mostly eliminated them across that massive
The idea of letting only JOSM users be validators was discussed and rejected
here:

Linked to that is the idea of only allowing validators who have been granted
validator permissions.
I made a suggestion here which is less heavy-handed
