I'd consider "user" and "data consumer" to be the same thing (but would prefer "user" or even "data user" in light of the objection to "consumer" used in this context at <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Consumer>). A "user" is someone who makes use of the data generated by the OpenStreetMap project including its volunteers. A "mapper" (or "editor") would be someone who creates and/or updates the data for the project. One easily can be both at different times, in fact, I would hope most if not all mappers "eat their own dog food" and use OSM data as much as possible in preference to e.g. Google or Bing maps. -- Shawn K.
