Thanks Pine!
So far there were a few false positives but they have been identified and
their accounts re-enabled.
I'm periodically monitoring the activity feed for any more false positives
but I don't expect more since I adjusted the filter in response to what
I've learned.
(Sorry for the late reply, this got left unsent in my drafts folder by
mistake)

Thank you, Mukunda. I am experiencing a shortage of
good news today, so I'm
glad to read about your work on this.
Hopefully people whose accounts are accidentally disabled will be
understanding, and hopefully their recovery experiences will be simple and
straightforward.
Regards,
Pine

Anti-vandalism functionality has now been
deployed in Phabricator for a
while. After adjusting the parameters in response to a few initial issues
and letting it run over the weekend, I'm now fairly confident in the
algorithm. It should reliably detect and disable accounts which are doing
automated edits (except for the bots that we have white-listed ). In
addition, it should be unlikely to affect users due to normal user
activity
like task submission / editing / commenting, etc.
When a user account is
disabled due to antivandalism, a notification is posted into the
phabricator event feed[1]. If any account is disabled due to a false
positive, then any phabricator admin may re-enable the account in the
usual
way within phabricator's 'manage
user' UI.
If anyone has any questions, or notices a problem, please let me know!
