Do check out this page for guidance and the email address for requests  
to the data working group.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vandalism

Note that I have been working on this page today and have added a  
section for 'speedy response' in cases where a failure to respond  
within hours could lead to highly visible damage to the rendered maps  
or changes in sensitive areas (for example Washington - particularly  
sensitive given the support and visibility given to OSM by the  
Whitehouse).

Personally I think we need a huge effort to be ready for damaging  
vandalism and much better tools to spot potential errors in a much  
more sophisticated way.

Peter
