One mapper has a thousand untagged ways in Mauritania most of which are of this type. I have sent a note to them but not yet heard anything back.
You may have already also done some of these, for completeness and for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar with these options:
o One or more changeset discussion comments, including in a language that they actually speak (in this case, based on the locale in the changeset tags, French). A bad online translation will likely have some words they recognise in it, even if the overall translation quality is up there with "English As She Is Spoke". Don't expect a response immediately though, if someone is trekking in the Sahara it may be some time before they read it.
o Try and contact other mappers in the same country and talk to them about it. Maybe someone knows someone who can talk to the mapper?
o If they're still actively doing it and seem not to be getting any messages have a look at the "I've seen a problem; what should I do?" section of http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Data_Working_Group - we can send them a message that they need to read before continuing (and hopefully fix their email).
Also, and most obviously, if you fancy having a go at fixing some of these "giant buildings" then of course you can!
