I recently got a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it. I would like to add some places to the map. Is there anything I need to know regarding preserving my privacy while contributing?

Thank you for any advice.

What is your attack vector, what type of tracking or privacy violations are you afraid of? I’m really curious.

The number of osm contributors are too small to someone start to track your edits for some nefarious reasons, targeted advertizing.

Email aliases are usually more convinient for this type of usage, basically it will be a read only address, you won’t have to send anything from there.

Only to minimize tracking. I’ve never used Facebook, Twitter, or had a Google account. I would rather give them as little as possible.
