I'd love to see this but the tech plumbing behind the scenes would
defeat me.
My method is much more analogue: I just check the history for the patch
I work in every few days and message a hello to new mappers. There
aren't many. It's rare I get a reply (maybe I need to bathe more
often!) and often the mapper seems to do one edit that's important to
them and then go dark. It's helpful to know if someone is likely to be
active on a street or area I've got data to add to. And, I hope...nice
and polite too!
John.

Subject: [Talk-GB] OSM-Welcome-Tool and OSM-GB
Hi All,
I discovered the OSM-Welcome-Tool
(https://github.com/osmbe/osm-welcome-tool
<https://github.com/osmbe/osm-welcome-tool> ) in the most recent
WeeklyOSM newsletter. I was wondering if anyone in OSM GB had considered
setting up a GB/UK/regional welcome message? I have an OSMCha watch on
my local area in West London and have been occasionally manually
emailing new contributors offering help and advice, but this seems like
a great way to give localised advice with very little work to set up
("set it and forget it")
I did a quick search of the talk-gb archive and only saw a reference in
passing.
Steven
