New to OSM. There is a roundabout recently added near our house, not listed on the map. How do I edit it?

For details see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout

But basically you draw a circular way in the direction of traffic flow, tag it as you would for any road with things like highway=, maxspeed=, surface=*, etc. and then also tag it with junction=roundabout I like to add oneway=yes but that is optional.
