  5. you should see a list of edits and the mappers

See the answers to Question:How do I see the history for my area. In particular this recent edits view. So there's various ways of figuring out who has been actively editing in your area.

Having found a user name you can contact a mapper via the website.

There are number of ideas under development to improve the "social" aspects of OpenStreetMap and make these kinds of interaction easier.

Have a look at http://forum.osm.org where you might find other mappers from your country.

Or do a research whether your area is covered by the List_of_territory_based_projects

To see edits from other mappers in your area, zoom in enough and choose "chronic" or similar in your language on the main view of osm.org to see their edits. You can contact them by clicking on their usernames.

"chronic"? What is this option? Did you mean the "history" tab?
