That way if, say, three sysops got together and listed a user for blocking, he could not be unblocked until three or more sysops got together and listed him for unblocking.
That sounds like a good idea, however, there is the potential problem of small groups of sysops acting togehter on everything, small cabals, if you like. Happens inevitably, and can start quite innocently by people starting ask those with whom they get along, say in the chat, or a mailing list.
I'd therefore propose (although that has probably been done before) that there is an option for getting more oppinions from other sysops, a sysop-channel on IRC, for example, which would only be accessible to sysops, and where every ban and every protection would need to find a mayoritiy of votes. Faster than quickpolls, and if the channel is logged, the decisions can be found later, too.
