As Pieren says, a revert is just another edit.  Perhaps this is a good  
solution:
   o When somebody hits the "revert" button (and is asked for a  
changeset comment), that sends email to the original submittor of the  
changeset notifying them that their changeset was reverted.
   o Revert everything that can be reverted.
   o When there are editing conflicts, include a link to Potlatch with  
a bbox for the conflict.
