Talking to Maryana, Ironholds and various other people in the office it seems that the heuristics first line of the UserProfile are not as useful as it could be.
For example:
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:UserProfile/Ironholds has Oliver as a "new editor," even though he's been editing for 1,000+ days.
Also high edit count doesn't equate to good editor.
I would suggest that we pay more attention to roles:
For example on the diff view:
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/789288...789310
Brion is shown as "BUREAUCRAT, CODER, IMPORTER, ADMINISTRATOR"
These seem far more useful indicatiors of what Brion does on the project.
Personally, I think the number of days registered is useful for identifying newcomers to projects but I can see views on total edit count...
