I'm using OsmAnd+ 2.5.4 with its OSM editing plugin.

Google Maps started to ask questions depending on your locations. If it detects that you stopped at a Cafe, but it has no information about its opening hours, it ask you, the user to enter it.

I think it is great, and OsmAnd could target these questions to volunteers like myself, who are happy to fill the missing information if I'm in the area.

So the requested feature is that would allow users to ask well-formulated POI-related questions, and allow editors/contributors to answer the questions by filling more details about that POI.
The questioner would get a notification about the update, and obviously OpenStreetMap would be more detailed as a byproduct.

This Feature should also be available to user who have no osm account, but just to create a map bug so the Information can be added by an experienced user later.

Definitely support it, though I don't like this feature in Google Maps itself. It is too annoying. So I guess this feature should also be introduced by a small explanation what's OpenStreetMap itself and why it is better than proprietary map source.

You should look at the app StreetComplete. Does pretty much what you are asking about. Have been discussed to further develop StreetComplete to an osmand plugin, see streetcomplete/StreetComplete#243.
