Sure, but there are more contributors than vandals, so there's less work 
for every contributor.

E.g. there's a couple of pages on pmwiki.org that I'd like to keep clean 
- less because of vandalism (though that's a factor, too), but to keep 
an eye on my recipes, to help people who leave questions there, to keep 
the pages organized and tidy.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to actually do that. What's missing is 
a way for contributors to leave a mail address so they'll get 
notifications whenever somebody edits over their changes.
This has been discussed on and off on the list, but never installed on 
pmwiki.org AFAIK. I guess it's because PM doesn't like registration 
procedures, which would be needed for having updates automatically sent 
to mail addresses without turning PmWiki into a spam emitter.

PM: what's the status of personal mail notifications? Any hopes of 
seeing this done this year?

Regards,
Jo
