Yeah it would be nice to have /somebody/ who is even close to me :) (although adding the extra month would also add a couple hundred more edits to my total too). It should be noted that the majority of my edits are rather minor (minor NPOVing, minor adds, wikification and formatting mostly). I don't know how useful having a list of most active contributors would be though - our focus shouldn't be on number of edits but on the quality of individual articles (which really can't be measured by any SQL query).
That's true, as #2 I must say that many of my edits are even more minor than that - no textual change at all, just redirecting one or two links so that they bypass a disambiguation page. For a better view of my REAL contribution to Wikipedia, one could perhaps look at my /Pages page (108 pages started, 10 pages started but my text lost, 68 other major edits, with a number forgotten).
