$wgSysopEmailBans
Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce a new permission for that,
which could sit on top of the standard "block" permission, rather than
introduce another global?
It may well -- would give us the ability to push it onto other usergroups if
we need. The primary reason for using the global was that it's much more
clear *how* to disable email-blocking, as this is likely something that many
wikis will want to disable (at least, it's more clear than
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockemail'] = false;). Everyone I asked
about
it felt as indifferent about it as I did though -- how 'bout we make a
hybrid of the two? Have the global that will disable it regardless of who
has what rights and the right itself which is also needed to use it?
