This then immediately makes your data available to OSM editors who can use the traces to improve geometry of ways, identify and add in missing tracks etc from your traces, to be entered under each mapper's OSM username. Alternatively you could go with Sebastian's suggestion which would keep your gps traces separate from all the other traces submitted to OSM. With those gps traces available, either you or the community could run a process to flag areas where OSM and your traces differ and create new maproulette.org tasks, like Sebastian suggested. Any edits though will fall under the actual mapper's username.
