I've come across a particular new user who is making a lot of common newbie
errors. The first thing I did was send them a friendly message, in which I
pointed them to the wiki and the mailing lists, and also pointed out
(politely) a few mistakes they made and how to fix them (and that I would
fix the mistakes for them).

A few days pass. No response; subject makes a few more changesets.

I notice another common newbie error in the new changesets, and I sent them
another (polite) message pointing them out. Again, no response, and a few
more changesets.

I'm getting tired of cleaning up after everything this person does and
getting ignored. How should I go about dealing with this? Is there anyone I
can report them to that can deal with them better? I don't want to have
them temporarily banned or anything. I wish there were a way to put a giant
flashing banner above the map that says "CHECK YOUR INBOX CHECK YOUR INBOX
CHECK YOUR INBOX" for a targeted user but I'm pretty sure that
functionality doesn't exist yet.
