I don't think the trust scores, if they're based on what the article describes, would really do much to show "trust" in a conventional sense. Consider that someone doing Michael-style subtle vandalism (release dates, etc) may not get reverted for some time, while a good editor who likes to edit in political topics may get reverted frequently even when her contributions are good (or, perhaps, just have subtle PoV issues).
