It's not a property of the changeset.
So how do you mass-select exactly those objects you created based on a given source (mass-selection was the topic of the mail I replied to)? Regardless of mass-selection, "I used npe, landsat and survey" is a valid property of the changeset. It may be possible to give more detailed information, of course. But most mappers don't add source tags, and a changeset source would provide at least some information. You can continue to add source tags to individual objects if you think it's worth the effort - it's your decision, as with all tags in OSM.
