12907	Add satellite image of Cotonou (Benin)	sommerluk	team	"

Recently, there was a crowdfounding campain to buy satelite imagery for Cotonou (Benin) for the usage in OSM:
https://fr.ulule.com/imagerie-cotonou/
The crowdfounding compain was successful. They include images of Cotonou and some smaller parts in direction Grand Popo.

These and more image layers are available at wmts:http://geoxxx.agrocampus-ouest.fr/owsifl/gwc/service/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

I do not know the details of the license and the hosting. But the campain was organized by @stlejer-morvrini so he probably has all the details. The image is provided especially for use in OSM.

This satelite image is really important for OSM in Benin, because Cotonou is the biggest city of this country and Bing and Mapbox do not have a good resolution for Cotonou (only landsat quality).

So it would be really great to have this image available in the OSM editors.
