Not to condone the mass deletion (which I'm annoyed if not
outraged at myself), but:

Has no one yet written a bot to iterate over all the
contributions from a particular user over a particular time
period and undo them, perhaps with oversight?  I was thinking
of writing such a tool to clean up after persistent vandals
and bots run amok, but it'd obviously be useful here, too.
