Jack, First off - lets name names. Who is this person? We did have a discussion on Slack a while back about an editor changing trunk to something other than trunk. As far as I know we were successful in reverting many of those.
Not everyone is comfortable using Slack and I understand. However, they should respond to changeset comments. Especially from someone familiar with the road. If they ignore you, then I would recommend involving DWG. If they just want to argue then but won't join Slack, then I'd invite them to to this mailing list discuss why they feel a particular road should be changed from trunk to primary.
