Depending on how you actually enter these revisions in Org, you could
probably make org-annotate do this. The link is on the text to change,
the annotation is the revised text, and then set
org-annotate-latex-export-function to a custom function that might look
like:

(defun org-annotate-export-latex-response (path desc)
  (format "%s\\response{%s}" (or desc "") path))

Maybe give that a shot?
