Do you have a sense of the mechanics of identifying reverts? Do they
show up in an identifiable way in the IRC logs?
There are a few types of reverts.
Some have "rv" or "rvv" or "revert" [or equivalent in the
appropriate
language] in the edit summary, undoing 1 edit
Some are (-N) changes immediately after a (+N) change, with some other
edit summary
A combination of the above rolling back multiple edits. Here (-N) is
larger than the previous (+M)
The first group can be identified with few false positives - and the
-N/+N character-change used for confirmation.
