[OSM-talk] What happened to the bounding boxes in the history?

There are three things I'd like to indicate for every changeset on this page, 
and need some elegant and simple design thinking to get there.

 
- Is this changeset made by a bot? Technically, can check bot=yes on the 
changeset tags ... this isn't required, but at least xybot follows this 
convention, and we can encourage more adoption of it by utilising it.
- Is this changeset made by a friend? Simply, if the viewer is signed in, check 
for friendship.
- Is this changeset big? As we're discussing, some disagreement on how to rely 
technically on this (OWL, or roughly by changeset size).

Ideas and discussion on what this could look like are welcome. The idea I've had 
is very small icons or colored dots next to the changeset id.

There's no way to tell, going down the list, which ones are huge changesets that 
cover the entire world and which ones are confined to this area.
