I think the plan is to change this EL instance to log the event "this user has now made X edits within their first 30 days", where X is in {1,5,10,25,50,100}. That will start happening when this patch:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98079/1/WikimediaEvents.php is merged. So my idea is to backfill these milestone events so new the query can just be:
Yeah, but if it's backfilled, it's no longer an actual EL event. I agree with Dario it's cleaner to have a separate table (holding only the backfilled data), and do a UNION.
