I think there are two issues here the first is I accept having a large
number of anything by one mapper has the potential for a systematic error.
If the import is verified by a second mapper independently I assume this
would be acceptable?
The second is more to do with discussion within the community and is I
feel more complex.

True!
It is not a "community process"
where contributions are made by a group of "local mappers" (although
this sometimes happens).
True!
As long as we're talking normal, everyday, "manual" mapping. Like, 100
edits a day, or maybe 1000 edits on a good day.
For things that go beyond a little mapping by the individual, we tend to
have processes, e.g. for imports, for automated edits, for organised edits.
The general idea behind the discuss-these-things-first rules is not that
one mapper is better than another, but quite the opposite: One mapper
alone can actually make stupid mistakes or suffer from bad judgement,
something that the larger community can help against.
Bye
Frederik
