Graham, We've just released some improvements to the way recent changes are displayed, namely grouping them into different categories which today are All Changes, Authors Merged, Books Added and New Covers.
E.g. New covers: http://openlibrary.org/recentchanges/add-cover Obviously the New Covers page would be better if it just showed a bunch of covers which were easier to review and quicker to act upon if there is a problem. We're planning to do that. This is a list that anyone can watch. Also, it's worth noting two things: that the ratio of spurious covers to real ones is very small, and that anyone can remove a suspect image anytime.
