Very similar for me just outside of Nottingham (i.e. within an hours walking
distance to far side of the city centre) it can see that of the 30 near by
14 have made no edits, 12 haven't edited in over a year, and only one person
aside from myself in the last month - the remainging three are all mapping
outside the area! Admittedly these are all within 3 km so it's not picked
up those that have been attending the meet ups who tend to map the other
side of the city centre and further afield.

Speaking of the awesomeness of Cycle Map and how that encourages people
- I really want an openwalkingtothepubmap, which would basically be a clone
of the gorgeous cycle map, but with the coloured cycle routes removed in
favour of coloured paths and also pubs visible when quite zoomed out (and
prolly post boxes too, but that is probably particularly niche).*
It would be really useful if such maps highlighted roads with "sidewalks"
too - one of the trunk routes round here has a decent footpath along side of
it but any walking directions avoid it like the plague - mind you the
slowless of OpenCycleMap updates recently has made me look at JXAPI for
getting roads tagged with LCN so I guess I can now play with that working
out how to add roads with "sidewalks".
Going back to the original argument - the reason I started Open Street Map
was because my road had been missed dispite the whole estate being mapped to
"Google Maps Completeness" apart from that (actually better than Google Maps
as it didn't try and route you down a mud track) - but if the estate hadn't
even been there at all I probably wouldn't have even done that minor fix!
