Unless that person is a friend of someone with oversight power.
I've just gone through the list and, personally, I trust the oversighters. I don't think any of them would abuse their power just to help a friend.
Whether or not what they did was an abuse of power is debatable, but there have been a number of instances of evidence of misbehavior of admins being oversighted.
More things should be oversighted.
That'd be fine with me, as the oversight itself is not what's wrong. Of course, oversight of anything that has already appeared in a database dump is probably counterproductive, as it merely draws attention to the oversighted edit.
