Brion, could not it be possible that at least all those with oversight actually *see* the deleted revisions ?
Likely not, as that would defeat the purpose.
How so? We have over 900 admins on en.wp. There are 17 users with the oversight bit. Hiding the information in question from _virtually_ everyone except for 1-2% of admins may be sufficient in order to prevent leaks of personal information.
Other possible safeguards: - a certain number of oversight members is _notified_ whenever an oversight change has to be made. - a certain number of oversight members have to _approve_ an oversight change before it is made.
