Due to some concerns expressed in here (bloatness, discrepancies), I've been 
wondering...
Wouldn't it be enough to ask randomly about some properties to be checked?

For example, let's say I'm using SC to do some mapping, and from a 100 quests, 
I get whatever proportions of maintenance quests selected randomly.
While this wouldn't provide information that I did check to OSM database (if 
data is accurate), it still ensures that the DB is correct.

As someone stated, with a proper number of users, the concepts of having a last 
date of check might be obsolete, so having people do random checks (could still 
be prioritized based on actual element) on top of filling new stuff might be 
enough in the long run.

Adding such source tags to a changeset seldom makes sense.
Most of my changesets are a mixture of local knowledge, surveys, gps,
photographic and video. I even occasionally use satellite imagery...
So the source data needs to be fine grained on the elements themselves.

Furthermore, when updating an element, I can see any source tags right
there. I am not normally going to all the faff of looking up the
history, finding the changesets and consulting those except for unusual
cases.

Of course, changesets need to have some overall source infomation, but
that is necessarily coarse except for small cahnges perhaps.
