Non making any comment on whether the person should be unsysoped or not 
unsysoped, I think that as soon as editors question the action of a 
sysop or not, it is worth listening and considering.

That means there must be a clear process where editors can put their 
complaint against a sysop and express their wish that this editor is 
removed from sysophood. It is important that if there is no more trust 
from a sizeable number of editors, sysophood is removed.

I wonder if the simplest thing is not that as soon as a sizeable number 
of people doubt that a person should stay a sysop, the process could be 
simply that these users should be reconfirmed in their sysop status.

Make it a vote just of the same type of the vote to become of sysop. If 
a reasonable number of support is obtained the person stay a sysop, if 
not, removed.

The only thing you need to do is that the initial request is made by a 
trusted person, to avoid trolling.

There is an easy way to do this : have it a requirement that listing the 
person on the admin/deadmin list be made  by a sysop himself.
