But do you even have anyhing to prove that this is vandalism? Just 
because a new account makes lots of edits in different places doesn't 
mean anything... there might be a pre-existing group of people on some 
mailing list and one of them says "hey, check out OSM, I've set up this 
account and you can all used it..." - not the best of ideas but not 
vandalism either.

Is there any proof that these are not normal edits? (Bear in mind that 
sometimes even "normal edits" break something.)

I'm sorry but I have not heard anything from you that would make me 
think it would be good to have a "revert in one click" function. You 
sound as if you'd revert anything you find suspicious...
