IMO, 'imports' should be simply considered as datasources, not data.
We lack tools to properly use this data. Having great tools like for
imagery or GPS tracks in the various editors, maybe with a copy/paste
feature to import data semi-manually would be very valuable.
Then the 'import' job could just be to make the datasource easy to use
to contributors.
A server to centralize this datasets could help for visibility.
