: JOSM, somewhat surprisingly, has more changesets total and with bboxes, 
: but maybe that’s just because until recently every upload was it’s own 
: changeset.

Actually I'm not surprised. I think most power users will use JOSM, so 
more changesets are the result. Would be interesting to get the rate of 
changed elements per changeset for each editor. That would distinguish 
power users from minor edits.

Also nice would be the "created_by" count in OSM data. Due to silently 
dropping them, JOSM's usage is also easy to see :-)
