How about a line that lists the total accepted user contributions as well,
so new users may see how many acceptable/accepted contributions a user has
made?

Proposal:
Let's list the number of total user contributions next to all the user names
in the [[Special:Recentchanges]] list.
Rationale:
This will make it easier to focus on new users who may not yet be familiar
with what's acceptable and what not.
While it is true that there is no straightforward relation between a bigger
number of contributions and contribution quality, it can by and large
however be assumed that if a user regularly submits substandard and/or
mischievous contributions then the community probably knows about that user.
So despite the shortcomings, seeing a user's number of total previous
contributions in the Recent changes list would be a step forward.
