Do these statistics take into account things like
vandalism
reversions? Also, how do they handle anonymous users -- are they
summed up by edit count like anyone else? I distinctly remember
seeing a study conclude that most of the actual content comes from
users with few edits, but I can't recall where or how long ago
(possibly two or three years).

Most of the edits are done by a very small group of regulars.
But most of the actual text is contributed by drive-by contributors
and then beaten into shape by the regulars.
