A totally different approach for a very small part you could use Overpass:
replace with your username.
The following query only returns the ways in the bbox of which was the
last modifier.
[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(way({{bbox}});)->.a;
(
// query part for: “user=
As far as I see it:
The author says that it is pretty easy to vandalise OSM data, even without
creating an account. You just have to make a note with some fake
information and wait until an armchair mapper picks up the note, does no
verification on the ground and adds the POI.

Nice ideas, but impossible to realise IMHO.
try finding a good rendering for
highway = residential
maxweight = 7.5
cycleway:left = track
cycleway:right = lane
sideway=both
lanes = 5
lanes:forward=2
lanes:backward =3
lanes:bus:forward=1
turn:lanes:backward=left|through|right
lit = yes
and perhaps
As long as the name (or the ref/int_ref) of the street remains the same, I
think the router should be able to give other messages than "turn right".
There is no need for an additional relation IMHO.

I should have written "then there is no need" (with "then" when there is a
name or ref that stays the same)
in the other cases you need a relation.

I've seen this topic being discussed here or elsewhere in the past. I
thought that the consensus was that in some area's (a Spanish town I
believe), it was ok to leave the oneway=no. The reasoning was that most
streets in that town were oneway=yes, and the oneway=no was used to
indicate that this r
just a few thoughts:
What is the value of a 1 time mechanical edit cleanup ? From the moment you
ran your script, new data can arrive in the OSM with the wrong values.
Will you run your script daily ? What if a data consumer obtains the data
between 2 runs of your script ?
Wouldn't it be better t
