I am not sure there was a proposal, but they have been extensively
discussed since they were first proposed.

the first usage of the abandoned: and disused:-prefix seems to go back to
2011, with noticable use since 2013 (checked for :amenity, highway and
railway).
Usage for abandoned is higher than it is for disused (seems logical, as an
abandoned feature is probably deterioated, while a disused feature should
normally still be usable, just not used, so disused=yes may make sense in a
lot of cases, because the main tag might still apply, while abandoned=yes
would often be a misrepresentation, because the main tag would not apply
any more)

E.g. an abandoned:building is probably more a ruin than a building, while a
disused building is still a building.

Cheers,
Martin
