This is a different type of blacklist. The spam

believe only people with server access could edit that, but that
doesn't mean it was an official Wikimedia decision. The majority of
people with server access are not Wikimedia employees.
So who are they accountable to, no one? Isn't obviously problematic
that people can unilaterally make such major decisions with neither
the request of the foundation nor the community?
Yes.
