How do my contributions help? (lemmy.world)

I discovered StreetComplete recently and have been having fun "popping" quests around town, on vacation and around home. Now what? What happens with my contributions? How long before they're wrapped up into a map update? Do other people have to solve the same quest as a double check?

Though I believe StreetComplete may re-ask some quests after some time to confirm stuff like opening hours is still up to date.

Yep, it often asks me if a business is still here / construction work is still ongoing / etc.
