[OSM-dev] Automated map of contributions

For a few months I've made static maps by looking at changesets and 
putting down a marker on PNG roughly based on the centerpoint of 
changeset on a map. I've done this for Iceland and Botswana, both 
sparsely populated countries so the volume has been manageable.

4 examples here from Botswana:

Now the 1 year of edits video http://vimeo.com/83164362 is of course 
really inspiring.

My query is thus:

a) Does a tool exist which can create a static map of a single country 
for a given time period in the manner of the video (my PNG created "by 
magic")
b) If not then what would be the vital components in creating one 
(comparing GeoFabrik dumps?).
