I like that idea too, but why did that proposal process stop? Your original proposal is from 2010!! And a renewed one from 2014? To find out how the tag has been used on the map, I started a research with overpass in Great Britain to see how that tag is used in that country, being the country where the Village Green seems to have originated. First I quote the wiki: "A village green is a distinctive part of a village centre. It's an area of common land (usually grass but may also be a lake), in the centre of a village (quintessentially English - defined separately from 'common land' under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and the Commons Act 2006).” Please note: “distinctive part” and “in the centre of a village” in the definition I found many uses of landuse=village_green that _completely_ignore_ the core definition in the wiki! I made some screenshotes (from overpass) to inspect (I have used the color red to show the usage): https://marczoutendijk.stackstorage.com/s/PruVaYiH5AgdRQO https://marczoutendijk.stackstorage.com/s/64YFp8c0jLch6aD https://marczoutendijk.stackstorage.com/s/YS4ghoklDNdBGSE https://marczoutendijk.stackstorage.com/s/FFOD0zEB7KMuudL Especially the 3rd example is worth viewing.https://marczoutendijk.stackstorage.com/s/FFOD0zEB7KMuudL To see what’s really there (‘on the ground”), you should drive around a bit: https://www.google.nl/maps/@52.0368116,-0.7484204,3a,90y,285.92h,79.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sm8DAnw2KC8KgIml_rvBz-w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=nl Is that a Village Green according to the wiki? Don’t make me laugh! What function do the wiki’s have in the OSM world?
