This is because you only have less than 20 rollbackers dealing with it, a
number targeted to old conditions; are you interested in a list of very active
patrollers who could be nominated for election as rollbackers to help? Have you
told the community more help is needed?

I +1 this:

We're only speaking of a handful thousands of reverted edits per month more. If
you're interested in quick solution, you could ask User:HAndrade (WMF) (who has
already been very helpful) to list all the reverted edits he counted, and I
volunteer to inspect them for patterns. We could see if rate limits would help
and so on; all those who follow this report without being pt.wiki users do so
because they're interested in technical solutions, so I'm sure they'd help too.
