I don't think so. He made a great first try at a python script, but I think
he stopped there.

There really are only a few features I'd like to see put into OSM:
 - rivers
 - lakes
 - swamp areas
 - drainage ditches
 - reservoirs

All of these things have descriptions in NHD, but not all of them have
descriptions in OSM. Perhaps we should make some tagging proposals, get them
approved/discussed, then continue with the import.
