This is a ranking which counts who was the last one touching an object. As
Maurizio already pointed out this is not too meaningful as it says nothing

I think this user ranking principle / ranking discussion is very
unhealthy.
OSM is not a game with points for every node we shoot !

I don't think I even remotely implied that the ranking on odbl.de was
fair, just simply
that it exists and is in use.
And. naturally any "fair" ranking should take in to account the time
spent creating and
editing web pages, answering questions (irc and help) and many other
things
