No, only developers with root access can see and restore the oversighted edit. Furthermore, this is managed directly by the local wikis ArbCom, see the hiding revisions page. They delegate who gets the oversight right and can view the log if need be (most of the current and past members have the right). In addition, the developers know to listen to them if they need access to the revision, although in most cases the revisions do not need to be restored.

I am not sure if there is a bugzilla report for it. But keep in mind that you must have Foundation-wide community discussion before such a change takes place. Either way, Brion knows about it and I am sure VoiceOfAll will bother him with it.

So one needs read access to the Linux filesystem of the Wikimedia servers to look at an oversighted edit?

That would seem to make Oversight a bigger deal than it ought to be. There are a number of things one might not want every admin to be able to see, but which one might want to keep accessible to ArbCom, etc. : (

Is there a Bugzilla report filed somewhere to get the bitfields extension committed?
