There are some discussions already going on about this topic:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1268
There is this wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Standard_tile_layer
Ultimately, an automatic solution would be preferable:
e.g. https://github.com/gravitystorm/mapnik-legendary
As for adjusting the map key right now, please note that there is a
major roads redesign coming up, so I would suggest waiting until that
has been rolled out to avoid duplicating effort. I don't know an ETA of
this change on the tile servers yet as it is a quite major change.
Others may be able to comment on that.

I am having a look at the map key for the standard layer and I am finding a
number of loose ends.
One obvious issue is that the key is sometimes out of date: for instance it
distinguishes between forest and wood but the style sheet no longer does so.
The key talks about trunk, primary and secondary roads but this is just OSM
database keywords left exposed; these words have local meanings in some
countries that OSM differs from. It might be better to have an entry for
main roads using as many colours as are displayed at the zoom level in a
single row, which among other things saves space on mobile devices.
We also have an opportunity to add some more entries for further features
and to sort important stuff to the top.
