Dimitar5555 created an issue (openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#6659)

### Problem

Each account on OSM has it's own "birth" date. It would be nice if we sent an email for each anniversary, possibly showing what the user has contributed to OSM ("made X changesets with Y changes, opened Z notes, resolved H notes" or something similar) with some call to action.

This could potentially "wake up" a lot of people who have forgotten about their account on OSM (assuming they still use the same email).

Looking at [the stats](https://osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=members), there are 10M+ registered users. I'm not sure how 10M+ more yearly sent emails could affect OSM's spam score in email clients, so maybe there should be some initial limit. That way we can also track how effective it is.

### Description

_No response_

### Screenshots

For context, Google Maps has been sending such emails for the last few years.
