[OSM-dev] Tagstat History/Change over time

I'm wondering if anyone out there could talk about how resource-intensive it
would be to set up a system to show the usage of any arbitrary tag/value
pair (or maybe just the top 5000?) over the course of time. Presumably it
would be something like what tagstat does, but the results would be saved
every week so that graphs could be made.

My thought is that maybe something like this could be used to spot bot
vandalism. Also, it might be helpful to know if a particular set of tags is
falling into disuse or is gaining in popularity.

And it would look cool.
