I made a start on this about a year ago, here's a quck mock-up showing council data in colours and OSM paths shown in white as a 'tippex' effect. This allows the identification of historical 'F.P' footpaths on the historical maps which do not correspond either to current council RoWs or current OSM paths, and thus would be candidates for investigation to see if the path is in a usable state or there is evidence of use.
Such paths are not going to have finger boards with "public footpath" on them. In other threads, I sense quite a strong lobby for only mapping rights of way that are so marked on the ground and ignoring any designation that only appears in a map.
As such, you will end up with at best a permissive status recorded on OSM. Even that is actually likely to be subjective.
