So you're proposing that a script is run to correct minor deviations in the
remaining data which sounds a reasonable approach to me and would improve
data quality.

So run the data through the script.  Then import and run overpass to pick
out those that need manual adjustment?

If we do this though then I think we need to stay with the single import
plan rather than have individual import plans popping up that didn't use
the scripts.

I have no control over the number of mappers importing or the rate at which
they import and I'm not sure how you would mange this other than having a
person identified in the wiki as leading a particular area and there is
provision or rather was I'm not sure what the latest version says.

Even with smaller import plans there would be nothing to stop one mapper
bringing in building outlines very quickly.
