Not at the present.  You could file a feature request at
bugs.wikimedia.org.  But it doesn't seem terribly useful to me (you
have to simmer for four days before making trouble again?).

It was eventually changed to just use four days from signup, when (I
guess) a signup-date field was added to the user table.  It makes no
difference from the point of view of resetting it, which would
probably need an explicit override group either way.
