The board regularly receives some complaints about checkuser activity and what happened is either that no one look at the case, or look at them poorly. In 95% of case, the "abuse" is imaginary; but we can not be sure that one day there will not be a problem.
More or less than complaints about abuse of admin powers?
PS : if necessary, set up a general email address for abuse reporting, with an OTRS file.
A general abuse-l@wikimedia.org / OTRS queue might be broadly useful. There are some similar processes for dealing with abuse complaints, checkuser or no.

I second this sentiment. There is no reason why checkuser complaints ought to be singled out as something unique and special compared to other admin abuses.
