You can go the tasking manager and see exactly what the goal of the

Can you please explain where any of that is documented within
OpenStreetMap? As an example, I recently came across this:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/381043577
It's a building that is a closed way, but only just. How can I offer to
help that mapper do what they are trying to do better? All the
changeset comment says is "#MissingMaps #hotosm-project-1254 Lubumbashi,
Congo (DRC) #100mapathons #OSMGeoWeek " - to me the only useful
information in there is "Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC)", which I already know
since that is exactly where this edit is.
More importantly, how do I contact the person who told this new mapper
that "#MissingMaps #hotosm-project-1254 Lubumbashi, Congo (DRC)
#100mapathons #OSMGeoWeek" was a suitable changeset comment, to explain
to them what we use changeset comments for and what makes a good one?
If I can talk to them, I can probably help them help other new users
too, and not just with stuff about changeset comments - as an OSM mapper
think of all the "how to interpret imagery" latent knowledge that you
have simply by being able to compare a place you visited with the
imagery of that place.
Cheers,
Andy
