That was just an example, interesting are of course even checkuser accounts and such. I don't see any reason why system which notify you that someone is trying to login as you is something bad for stewards.

Let me clarify: we are talking about accounts which are interesting for hackers such as these of stewards.
Really? You're clearly designing a system targeting inactive sysops who disappear, but it doesnt seem suitable for inactive stewards who disappear. The former happens and nobody notices or cares, whereas the latter rarely happens without anyone noticing/caring, and never happens for more than a year because of steward re-elections.
Unless the software is going to poll stewards who have been inactive for a month or two, it wont be more effective than the current system, and the current system of steward re-elections isnt replaceable with your design (or any other software solution).
