[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add the ability to rate limit edits (PR #4319)

[快乐的老鼠宝宝]

> > Taking it a bit more easy and learning the system before making these huge edits makes a lot of sense, IMHO. I would consider investing more time in teaching these new users how to properly map before making such huge amount of editing.
> > As I said before, if the lack of security (which was before this limit was introduced) discouraged veteran mappers from editing (which it did) I think there's no real question here **which users are more valuable, at least for me it's clear...**
> 
> This is not a question which users are more valuable @mmd-osm. It is not either, or. The open mapping community should enable to map both experienced users and new users. I think we should value people who join the community and want to contribute to humanitarian organizations on the ground, as in this case. Blocking the new ones if they are not doing anything wrong, just using the powerful plugins that experienced mappers train them in, is not particularly welcoming.

This may be solved by relying on HOT event organizers to collect users' usernames before starting the mapathon and apply for a more relaxed rate limit for them, and must ensure that there are enough experienced mappers to review the corresponding editors. The current rate limit is definitely not perfect. , and will be more of a headache than the first 50 edits to Wikipedia, but it is difficult to find a simple and effective way to deal with the vandalism while also reduces the impact on new people who edit in friendly attitude.

In addition, 3000 points in 10 minutes, as a mapper with 5 years of experience, I can't do it even with the assistance of AI.
