edit, or total number of edits or (perhaps best) some weighted
average of the edit history.
Turns out we can.

Average was easiest, so I did that as a first try. It shows an initial
upward trend, stabilising in early 2005 at about 300 days.
How's that?
Cool :)
Does that mean after about 300 days after account creation, people give up
at editing?
best wishes,
