My "long tail" intuition are now supported by a scientific study called 
"Characterizing the Heterogeneity of the OpenStreetMap Data and 
Community", and we know even how much advanced users are there! The 
abstract says:

"All three aspects (users, elements, and contributions) demonstrate 
striking power laws or heavy-tailed distributions. The heavy-tailed 
distributions imply that there are far more small elements than large 
ones, far more inactive users than active ones, and far more lightly 
edited elements than heavy-edited ones. Furthermore, about 500 users in 
the core group of the OSM are highly networked in terms of 
collaboration."

So, we should really take care of casual mappers!
