Thanks for the heads up, this is pretty cool. Never thought about how a map of the entire earth would have changes approved or denied beyond open street map's wikipedia-style editing and re-editing.
I opened an issue on the map maker tracker based on this HN thread at https://code.google.com/p/google-mapmaker/issues/detail?id=5... ... I'm extremely impressed by the processes I see in Map Maker. It's obvious they've thought through a lot of how people might abuse or get features incorrect.
So the bug might be outside their control, but I'd argue that end users of Google Maps should be aware of newly added features and their source, if Map Maker. Could have avoided this whole posting on HN if that were the case.
