Leaving aside the registered users who've never edited, the majority of 
editors have made very few edits.  It's not that uncommon to see people 
make edits with a 5 year gap in between.

At the risk of being slightly heretical, I think that it's OK that OSM 
is a resource that people can use and perhaps update occasionally 
without actually "becoming mappers".  I update wikipedia occasionally, 
but haven't for months.  I have no desire to become a "wikipedian".

Cheers,
Andy
