I notice that when adding footpaths you are adding foot=designated. You may not be aware but there is another, more useful, tag for identifying Public Rights of Way. This is designation with typical values of public_footpath, public_bridleway, byway and restricted_byway. If there's any chance of revisiting some you've mapped it would help identify those areas which have been well mapped for PRoWs.

I didn't know those designations existed. You seem to be able to add random tags so I've just used the one's Potlatch offers rather than invent my own or use a potentially bad one.
We could do with a UK Best Practice document for those of use not up to speed.
I've added about 300km of footpaths and bridleways over the last couple of years so I might be a while fixing things!

I think that Potlatch offers a box for "Official Classification" which gets translated into the designation tag. (I usually use the advanced mode so not absolutely sure).
It's a bit difficult to point to a satisfactory Best Practice document because all the very active footpath mappers in the UK tend to have various degrees of dissatisfaction with what is written on the wiki. So have a look at the Southern Peak District, almost anywhere in Hampshire, West Sussex, Amber Valley, and Shropshire which are local patches for very active footpath mappers (dudone, nickw, SomeoneElse and trigpoint). Or look at recent mapping round Consall Forge in Staffs as 3 of the above + myself & brianboru all did footpath mapping independently on the same day.
We should be having another footpath mapping event on a Saturday in late May. This will be at Scalford NE of Melton Mowbray which might be close enough if you wanted to meet & chat about mapping them. I think we always find there's stuff to learn from each other.
