Easier said than done. Locating your co-complainant is the tricky
part. You just won't find many editors on Wikipedia who's first
experience of the community was a banning. They tend to leave pretty
quickly.

I think I remember one case in which the ArbCom revoked administrator
privilegies from an admin. Some admin who had a name consisting of
tree digits and was not 172. But you are talking in pluralis meaning
that you have seen more than one instance of this happening. It would
very good if you could describe the events so that we can see how far
an admin actually can go before he or she loses his or hers
privilegies. Set a precedence, formalize the rules, so that it doesn't
seem like admins are VIP:s with diplomatic immunity.
