The links themselves are, but it isn't tied to editor information, so I
don't think will answer this particular query. In the database dumps at
dumps.wikimedia.org, the table that's dumped as
xxwiki-yyyymmdd-externallinks.sql.gz lists external links per-page. So
if you just wanted counts of link additions (or removals), you could
grab two dumps from different dates and compare.  But you'll need to
parse the full revision information to get a count of who added which
links.
