As far as I am aware, there is no pre-made way to get this information. There is a way you could do it with some custom JS, but it would potentially be a rather data-heavy process. I would definitely not recommend it for simply displaying a number on a page. Basically, you would need to retrieve a list of all of a user's contributions. This could take more than a few data requests for frequent editors despite the fact that you can retrieve up to 500 contributions with a single request. After that, you would need to send requests to get additional information about each contribution (again, a 500 count limit per quest). Lastly, you would need to tabulate all of the individual values. So basically, for each user for whom you want to get this total and place on a specific page, the number of data requests you would need to make would be 2*roundup((# contribs)/500). So it wouldn't be so bad for user who have, say, 1000 edits. However, if someone had, say 20000 edits, that would be 80 data requests just for that one user; just to calculate a single number.
