Use taginfo.
Navigate to the key/value.
Click either the overpass or edit buttons.  Josm works best for this,
but overpass works fine.
Click through the nodes and look at the history on the website, for example
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3066715547/
Now click to the changeset involved and you can see what that user has done.
