checkuser info on indef blocked user should be shared among

I have no use for this kind of infectious paranoia.
This is our reality. I already have one example: a person with the account A
was on tr and az wps. They were banned at tr some time ago, then, after some
time at az wp, while having the account B at tr.wp. With somewhat more
effective CU organization, account B would be banned at tr.wp at the time
when the account A was banned at az.wp. However, account B was in the process
of getting admin permissions at tr.wp. And the process of blocking it was
very painful for tr.wp community. Instead of having a regular method for
dealing with such kind of problems, they needed deux ex machina, some steward
who will do one IAR for them.
