I proposed some time ago to fix some surface values.
Edit is documented at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/Mateusz_Konieczny_-_bot_account/fixing_malformed_surface_tags
I propose to expand this by fixing also values listed below.
Please comment if any of proposed replacements are dubious in any way and
do not qualify for a replacement with an automated edit.
Please also comment if you checked values proposed to be edited and they seem fine!
Edit will affect around 2200 objects.
It is preferable to use standard tag values where possible,
and in many cases unusual values can be migrated without any data loss.
The list below is supposed to contain only such cases.
If anyone wants I can help them to find affected objects or present listing of
edits which added this tags or list people who added this values onto currently
tagged osm objects.
Samples of this values were tested. I also asked for review at Review requested before proposing bot edit for automated fixing of surface values - Contribuer - Forum OSM France
Tried to use them as detectors of bogus data, neither were really useful for this purpose.
We have many better ways to find OSM data requiring human review.
So I am proposing following changes
tags with highest use, among ones that will be retagged
surface = astroturf with 297 uses
surface = timber with 122 uses
surface = paving with 179 uses
surface = U with 82 uses
surface = enrobé with 276 uses
surface = terre with 383 uses
surface = astroturf → surface = artificial_turf
surface = timber → surface = wood (see Changeset: 66866027 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 126078123 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 126078123 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 68461319 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 69445813 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 57280475 | OpenStreetMap Changeset: 126800407 | OpenStreetMap )
surface = DIRT → surface = dirt
surface = paving → surface = paved
surface = U → surface = unpaved

there are also many low-use values with one or two or three extra bogus characters, for example
surface = dirt22 → surface = dirt
would be also OK to migrate them without listing them
for review here and just add them to replace list later?
And other similar obvious typos appearing or found in future?
Only low use obvious mistakes would be changed.
If anyone at all will protest and I will not do this and post
for review, like list here, once sufficiently many values are found.
Proposed edit would be automatic, rerun from time to time, split into small
changeset by geographic areas and run by

Following is the same reasoning and plan as previously:
Why it is useful? It helps newbies to avoid becoming confused. It
protects against such values becoming established. Without drudgery
that would be required from the manual cleanup. It also makes easier to
add missing values where needed.
It also cuts down on help/research to answer cases “why this feature
is not showing up properly” (because it has a typo in a tag).
Why automatic edit? I have a massive queue (in thousands and tens of
thousands) of automatically detectable issues which are not reported by
mainstream validators, require fixes and fix requires review or
complete manual cleanup.
There is no point in manual drudgery here, with values clearly
replaceable by better matches.
This values here do NOT require manual overview. If this cases will
turn out to be an useful signal of invalid editing than I will remain
reviewing nearby areas where bot edited.
And I fixed some manually and they were not a great sign of a problematic data.
Yes, bot edit WILL cause objects to be edited. Nevertheless, as result
map data quality will improve.
