I'd love to help, but how? Is the only option for people to go driving all these "roads" in person to see which ones are actually roads, or is there another source of data that can be used to compare against?

You can do lots of it from aerial imagery: it's usually apparent whether something is a rough track, a gravel road, a paved road, or nothing at all.
