thank you for taking on this, good work. 

Allow me one remark for deprecated and obsolete. Currently it reads:
“
deprecated: deprecated tags that will not be used anymore”

this could be less absolute and maybe include reference to the process, 
something like “tags which are discouraged by an approved proposal”

Those tags that are discouraged because of a more established tagging 
alternative but not through voting would be “obsolete”, right? On the other 
hand for obsolete tags there is the requirement of “unapproved”, which probably 
leads to all obsolete approved tags going to deprecated status. Then to cover 
the formerly approved tags which haven’t been voted on their deprecation (other 
than by their “feet”), but are now considered deprecated, we should not require 
a vote on deprecation.

“deprecated tags whose usage is commonly or by voting discouraged”
or
“deprecated tags whose usage is discouraged because of the tag usage history or 
as the result of voting“ 
or even shorter, given that there are more verbose explanations below:
“deprecated tags whose usage is discouraged”
