I fear it is not.

I have encountered several "ways" in Italy that were created automatically
using JOSM , with a tracklog as basis that presumably has one point /
second resolution - without deleting anything. Thus, as many nodes and
segments as tracklog points exist. It's an awful lot  in that area [1],
sometimes even without underlying gpx data . Makes my computer cry to go
there ;)

I deleted a lot of redundant data (somewhere different from [1]), but it's
a lot of work.

Measuring mapping activity by a certain user is hard, and it should be
discouraged to enter too much data just to get higher in the stats.
