I think most humanly possible way is to set up monitoring for concrete
region and follow changesets. Usually those with vandalism don't have
very insightful changeset comments, also user names can sometimes
indicate intent.

I think there is no way computer can detect this except using our
defined tag list.

Respectfully,
Peter.
