What's the point of having things like 3RR when the only way to verify

Such revert wars can be checked by technological means also, so we would
not need to beef up stewards or bureaucrats. For example, if the
software detects a revert war, then it can allow admins to see who has
edited.

But how do we code in what is and isn't a revert war? Things like that
usually require a judgment call, so waiting for it to get "flagged" just to
see what's going on can waste time.
Also, I'm an idiot when it comes to copyright stuff, but don't we have to
publicly attribute everything under the GFDL?

I'm not stupid, just selectively ignorant.
