Well no response 9 days later.
Wait another ~5 days, to make it a fortnight .... if nothing then revert
all of them?

I agree with the concerns you raised in the changeset comment, and
that the changesets are well-meaning, so let's see if and how they
respond first. There are only a handful of changesets all from 18 days
ago at this point.

Hi all
I am /respectfully /writing to hear what you think about this
changeset from a seemingly new contributor. I definitely don't
want to publicly shame someone's well-meaning contribution, but
after commenting on the changeset, I want to:
* Inform others that the area they contribute to might have been
affected too
* Know what other contributors think about the nature of the
changes, given that I have very little experience with fixing
/ reverting changes that affect such large areas.
You will notice from the changeset history of the contibutor
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Australets/history> that all
their changesets were submitted on one single day, the day they
created their OSM account, and that they affect very distant areas
around the world (which makes me think there isn't much local
knowledge involved).
The changeset that affects the area I am familiar with is
changeset 103074912
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103074912>. But if you
live around Geraldton (WA), you might also be interested in this
one: 103072911 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/103072911>.
Here is the message I wrote after I noticed the changes in my
area, so you have a better idea of my concerns, but given the size
of the changeset, I haven't been able to give it a thorough review.

Hi Australets! I was wondering about the motivation between this
changeset, as it changed quite a few things in the area where I
contribute.
What is the idea behind merging addresses, buildings and points of
interest? I know there are different opinions on the matter, but I
can see definite drawbacks in the merging you did, at least in
some cases. For example, some of the resulting buildings end up
having a "source" tag that used to refer to only the address, but
now seems to refer to the whole object.
See for example this one:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/401769723/history
In other cases, the main building is apartments but now has the
name of one single shop included in it:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/444096785/history
In many cases, one single key could have a different values for a
building and a point of interest, even though the general rule
"One feature, one OSM element" applies. (e.g. address, name,
contact, source...). Separate POIs are also helpful for shops to
more precisely show in the building where it is located.
Let me know what you think!

Any input would be appreciated, especially tips about the way forward!
Cheers
