... and editors who have put their edits into the public domain.

No, this doesn't belong on legal-talk because it has nothing to do
with the law. Edits which are in the public domain do not fall under
copyright, and so the only decision to be made is whether the edits
are worth keeping. This is a decision about data quality, and not any
opinion about the law.
