Reduce reliance on using hashtag for every changeset

[RebeccaFirthy]

Reason: for a lot of our corporate partners the hashtag method is a huge point of failure when it comes to tracking impact.

A fantastic solution to this would be if a mapper adds ‘#partner’, to only one changeset, could the tasking manager store that email address (or tag them as from that partner?) and each time that user maps, their impact is automatically added to Accenture totals? Ideally this could also backdate so if the mapper forgets to use their hashtag at their first few mapathons, if they use it later their previous work can be counted.

This solution would probably solve all the issues we have with impact measurement at the organisation level currently. If possible, this could integrate with MapSwipe (e.g. if they use the same username/email), so the company MapSwipe impact can also be seen on the partner page.

@RebeccaFirthy this is way beyond the current capabilities of the leaderboards. This is also more appropriate for the tasking manager.

if they wanted, the company could record their employees' usernames. and that list could be used to calculate the aggregated edits of those people.
