I think: - Document it in the singular form (the other amenities are singular (except toilets, where there are facilities per gender), so it matches reality). - Send another mail to the list to give notice that you intend to update amenity=doctors to amenity=doctor via a bot in say a fortnight's time. That gives people time to update rendering rules to match the new tag if they're using it on some private map. - Open for voting if you like, but with over 1700 uses in the two forms combined I think it's safe to say that it's considered a useful tag already.
