Where a revert of an import (or other automated edit) is done by DWG because an import did not follow the rules, reverting that import just goes back to the status quo ante. That allows damage to be cancelled out and the import to be retried, later, when the problems have been addressed. Nothing is lost to OSM or the importer, and a lot is gained. I would gently submit that requiring DWG volunteers to undergo through a laborious consultation regime for every revert, simply to be able to apply the long-standing (and well-founded) rules, would achieve nothing apart from driving away a bunch of selfless, hard-working volunteers. (There are no other large-scale reverts that take place in OSM to my knowledge.)
