I think he's referring to bug 17929 ("CentralAuth lock/hide should trigger
global autoblocks").[1]

Related bugs are 15294 ("Allow blocking of global accounts") and 23114
("CentralAuth: global suppression with this extension should use
autoblock").[2][3]

Bug 23114 is marked fixed, though I don't know if that means it's live on
Wikimedia wikis and I don't know if "global suppression" is treated the same
as "global locking."
