OK this is plain awesome. Great work Mike.

One note of caution though - the title may suggest that you can just
go ahead and import away, but folks would still have to follow the
import guidelines and contact the OSM community at large, come up with
a solid proposal and discuss that, even if there is no local
community. I know it says it on the tin, but it's kind of tucked away
at the bottom.

Have you looked into full history planet parsing to get a fuller
picture of editing history? I took a stab at full history user metrics
some time ago using osmjs;
https://github.com/mvexel/OSMQualityMetrics/blob/master/UserStats.js -
this produces one set of metrics for the entire .osh file you feed it
but it may prove useful for future work. I haven't touched this in a
while but it should still work :/
