[Talk-GB] OSM feature density vs edits per features

[SK53]

I suspect the problem with Leicester is simply fewer mappers and therefore
much more higher noise to signal. Also Leicester is odd in having a very
active mapping community early on and much less (comparatively) activity
more recently. Although the same is probably true of both Liverpool &
Manchester.

Given that active mapping communities on a per country basis are often in
the hundreds or low thousands using a city as big as London makes sense,
even allowing for the effect of visitors. It's also too big for a few
dedicated mappers to do on their own.
