Thomas, a few additional options on top of Su-Laine's link:
2018 - present:
There is now a geographic editors dataset that stretches back to 2018 and
includes monthly data on editors per country:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/geoeditors/readme.html
NOTE: as Nemo pointed out, there are privacy concerns centered around this
data, so that data only gives you rough bins and has some filtering
criteria applied:

2009 - 2015:
There is also some quarterly data from several years ago that ends in 2015
-- e.g.,
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountry…
(and full list of reports:
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/)
NOTE: I don't know the history of that data though and the Q2 2015 report
(the last one) notes that there are inconsistencies in the data so I don't
know how much to trust it. Perhaps others will know more about why this
report was discontinued and what data can be trusted in it.
Best,
Isaac

Hi Thomas,
This isn’t quite what you asked for, but the editor survey from 2018 might
be helpful:

The survey responses will be skewed towards more active editors, but
depending on how you want to use the information that might be OK.
Best wishes,
Su-Laine
