If it helps, I've just looked at a selection of 20 of the 60 ways edited 
in changeset 2308178 by RR8.  This covers north Nottinghamshire in 
England.  One edit looks possibly correct (a road number has been 
continued from an adjacent stretch of road; it's possible that that that 
could be legitimate, the other 19 edits do not look likely to be valid.

I've added an entry to the table in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GB_revert_request_log
as that's been suggested as a way of keeping track of requests.

I've looked at a smaller number of ways in other changesets by RR8 in 
the surrounding area (Derby / Notts / Sheffield).  All look similarly 
suspect.

It certainly looks like he/she/it is messing up Northern England.
