Can I get notified if another OSM mapper performed any edits to one of my changestes even if he didn't write a comment for me?

Thanks

Something on the list of monitoring tools might suit your needs.

I have found options for monitoring users, objects, and tags. But I need to monitor my changestes and getting notified when any user does edits on my changesets so that I can check if that edit is correct or wrong and making sure of that data on my maps are correct.

Monitoring your changeset is a quite complicated task since objects change, get split etc and thus it is difficult to determine what belonged to your chanageset after a while.

I'm using the Whodidit tool on the linked page to monitor what happens in the area I'm most active. Others use OSMCHA for that purpose. These tools will show you also other edits but for me it's a good way to find problematic edits in my area.

Also have a look at this answer to an older question where I described the situation in a bit more detail: questions 72340
