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

[Tom Hughes]

I see better control of import/bulk edits as a useful side effect of this to be honest but other people may disagree.

The main reason for the importer role though was that it was very difficult to come up with an algorithm that would block the abuse without disputing them - there are importers that have got close to half a million edits in an hour so you would need to increase the maximum by quite a bit to allow them all.

Newbies doing lots of edits offline is a concern though that's not good practice and most newbies probably start with iD these days rather than an offline editor like JOSM.
