Once again assumes that the set of all admins is equal to the
set of admins who get involved in contentious actions.
We really must stamp out this false assumption.
There are many many admins who never do something sufficiently contentious
to warrant the use of email. I personally have made admin actions numbering
in the hundreds and have _never_ been emailled about them.
Only if you are going to go round contentiously banning people do you need
your email available....

Hmm, no... how about when a user has a run-in with an admin and wants
another admin to review the situation? I've had a few people ask me to
look at something, even though I usually agree with the other admin. Few
of the people I've blocked (anons, usually, or blatant vandals) have
complained, though like anybody else I'm human and admit I can make
mistakes - only last week I accidentally blocked the wrong anon user in
a fast-moving spate of vandalism, but reversed myself in about 5
minutes...
