My own concern with my definition is that it I should raise the minimum number of edits of a regular contributor. Also the period of observation should be longer. But that would make it more work to do the observation; counting ten edits is faster than using the "user edit counter". Maybe a developer could create a tool that simplifies the work, with a human being only to be needed for telling who is a content contributor and not a Foreign helper.
Well, on the user table there are the number of user edits and registering time, which would really filter it.
(Note that some people registration is much earlier than real edit beginning, specially with SUL automatic account creations. Plus, if the first edit just creates a user page and there're no edits on 5 months, it may not really count. OTOH, an edit in talk or project should be as relevant as one on main. So perhaps exclude edits on User: and User talk?)
