There do not seem to be any active checkusers.
This is a bit of a
problem. For example, there is an outstanding request re User JB196,
a prolific sockpuppeteering vandal, who uses open proxies; checkuser
on the accounts identified and blocked will allow the quiet blocking
of some open proxies. Maybe that's not what checkuser is for (but
then, maybe it is).
There are, but checkers are not in fact obligated in any way to look at WP:RFCU.
(It was created to steer querulous requests to, so that checkers
wouldn't get badgered on IRC for daring to show up. That's why I
avoided IRC for about six months. Essjay discovered the same.)
Anyway, do we need to get a couple of technically
savvy long-term
trusted admins to request checkuser access, and if so what's the best
process to avoid a trollfest?
It's parceled out by the ArbCom, so ask them. The usual answer is
"WP:RFCU isn't evidence of a need."
