Yes and yes, but:

To do so you would have to query Special:Editcount (or the API, I haven't looked into it as it's not relevant to answering the question.) on every profile view.

To me, adding an extra query on every profile view is an unacceptable increase in traffic, so I wouldn't do that.

It's certainly an interesting idea, as I manually apply "Photographer" status to people who upload a lot of images. With your idea, it could be applied automatically for a user with a lot of edits in the File namespace.
