I think the quotet 220000 are those mappers that still "own" an active
osm object. (last editor).

statistic based only on the last editors.
about 25000 Users only own a single node.

90% of all ways and nodes are last edited by about 7000 users.
99% by about 30000 users.
  --> 9% of data, 23000 users
99.9%  80000 Users
  --> 0.9% of data, 50000 users
and the rest:
  --> 0.1% of data, 140000 users
