Hi,

I believe that people will only provide truly useful changeset comments
if they do so voluntarily.
But at least one person in this thread has said something along the
lines "oh I didn't know these were so important actually". *That* is
surely something that could have been avoided by an editor informing
them accordingly.
For example, getting rid of those "big" edits from the history on
osm.org would improve the usefulness, and thus acceptance, of changeset
comments far more than any mailing list thread could.
I hear that this is in the works. - However I'd still advocate not
creating "big" edits in the first place. When I modified 170 million
nodes in the US last year, I made sure to group them at least by county
if not smaller clusters, to avoid having thousands of changesets
spanning the whole US.
Bye
Frederik
