I think I remember something like that; however, the edits that we're submitting all come from one user (that represents NearMap) since we don't (and can't) require users of our site to all be registered with OSM. So we obviously don't want that single username to get banned. What I'm after is some process by which we can flag/raise changeset numbers ourselves and get them requested for reversion asap. If we could revert our own changesets that'd be good, but I don't have enough detail about the api 0.6 revert facilities to be sure that they'll do what we need, especially if the changeset is a couple of weeks old at the time that an issue is spotted.
