Yes.
I find the stuff in taginfo, then load it in overpass turbo, export to
JOSM, and
use this dialog : https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/11413
That's a patch I wrote for JOSM that takes the current selection, and
counts up the users who make edits.


There are definitely other ways of doing it.
---------------
If I'm correcting typos with a mechanical edit, and I see a few users that
dominate the ratings,
then I'll send them changeset notices.  My rule of thumb is if it seems
like one off mistake, I don't bother.
If it seems like a pattern, I reach out.
