That sounds like a good idea, however, there is the potential problem of small
groups of sysops acting togehter on everything, small cabals, if you like.
Happens inevitably, and can start quite innocently by people starting ask
those with whom they get along, say in the chat, or a mailing list.
I'd therefore propose (although that has probably been done before) that there
is an option for getting more oppinions from other sysops, a sysop-channel on
IRC, for example, which would only be accessible to sysops, and where every
ban and every protection would need to find a mayoritiy of votes. Faster than
quickpolls, and if the channel is logged, the decisions can be found later,
too.
