There are some already Check the list of Q/A
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quality_assurance
(plenty of broken url's present)

There are already some useful relation Q/A tools : [1] and [2]

You could also just use WhoDidIt [3] to monitor your area, this tool is
probably one of the best for Q/A in combination with RSS feed in your
mail client or whatever works for you and understands RSS.

For me WhoDidIt is golden to guard quality, today I fixed an edit 20
minutes after it was made by a new user that messed up a street.

To find relation ID's (can be a bit hard to find those), you could turn
to OverPass API [4] to find ways, then click on OSM link to see what
relation(s) it belongs to, then you have the osm ID.
