I didn't work much with Ogg files (I prefer FLAC), but I guess you
could write a script.
There seem to be a tool for the tagging available in the Ubuntu
repositories (you didn't mention your GNU/Linux-distribution, but I
guess this one is available elsewhere too) called vorbis-tools, which
among other things includes something called vorbiscomment.

sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools

For information about tag reading/writing:
man vorbiscomment

Shouldn't be too hard to create some kind of script or even a
one-liner, to correct vorbis files on your entire drive, if that's
what you want.
Of course doing backups before running an untested script or one-liner
is always recommended…
