[WikiEN-l] Checkuser for fun, for profit, for mild curiosity, for sharing, for whatever

[Stephen Park]

There'd be more confidence in CheckUsers if the users with the tool
were more accountable. Right now it looks like individuals have the
tool indefinitely once they are granted it. It might make more sense
to link it specifically to certain elected positions such as ArbComm
member as well as staffers or to ensure there was an accessible way to
test whether or not an individual CheckUser still enjoys the trust of
the community. Maybe a painless way of doing that is having a fixed
term of one year for CheckUsers who are not on ArbComm or staff which
can only be renewed trhough a community vote?
