Yes, it would be good for this to integrate somehow with Openstreetbugs
and Walking Papers.

Adding a new Openstreetbugs entry for every naptan:verified=no bus stop would
be excessive, so there needs to be some way for independent sites to produce a
list of errors to check.

Perhaps some simple 'OSM-bugs format' could be defined:

  <bugs>
    <bug lat="51.53603" lon="-0.0087" type="keepright:mixed-layer">
      <msg>This node is a junction of ways on different layers.</msg>
      <node id="262545510" />
      <way id="24249588" />
      <way id="35148998" />
    </bug>
    <bug lat="51.61759" lon="-0.00207" type="osb">
      <msg>Need to map the paths through the wood.</msg>
      <reporter>Ed Avis</reporter>
    </bug>
    <bug lat="51.56052" lon="-0.00966" type="naptan:unverified">
      <msg>This bus stop needs verifying.</msg>
      <node id="469766073" />
    </bug>
  </bugs>

Then anyone who wants to provide data checks for OSM need only set up a web
page that takes a bbox in the URL and returns an OSM-bugs XML file.  Existing
checkers such as keepright and Openstreetbugs could, I hope, be easily modified
to generate this format.

A mapper would configure the app with a list of bug sources to read.
