No. The Map Features page is intended to be a documentation of tags being used, not a documentation of tags having been "voted in". If you dig through the archives, you will find that never has there been a draft, proposal, or vote for "highway=motorway"; nonetheless it is used and not questioned by anyone. > But it appears this feature was added to mapping features without a draft, > proposal or voting.

No, that would be utterly non-OSM. We are not (yet) a bureaucracy. > Bots in my limited knowledge seems unacceptable.

We have a "code of conduct" on the Wiki that strongly suggests each bot be discussed on the lists *before* it is used, but we have no formal approval process.
