The formula I propose, takes that into account. 

We should track the number of a contributors edits that are reverted,
divided into:

* reverted by admins
* reverted by ordinary folk
* reverted by suspected troublemakers

Additionally, we should track reversions MADE BY EACH USER. So anyone
who makes trouble by following around a "good" user and reverts all
their edits would be quickly tagged as a "reverts for no good reason"
user.
