I guess what these folks are truly afraid of is that someone will
start tracking reverts and post their results in some presentation
at some big conference. I say that would be a good thing. To
be honest, hitting the revert button more aggressively and putting
the fear of being the "revert king" into everyone's minds might
really help with this problem.
You will probably want to sort by "revert percentage" then.
The absolute number of reverts might make the biggest contributor
"revert king", even if his average patch quality is better than
most.
Currently there is no sufficient negative pushback on people who
insert broken crud into the tree. So it should be no surprise that it
continues.
