I think the most pressing issue is not the policy thing, but that
someone who wanted adminship was very keen to ensure that no one, not
even the Foundation, could find out anything about them. Not even the
location s/he edits from, or the ISP.

Perhaps we should focus on that question: do we want any kind of
minimum accountability from admins, or do we not care who they are, or
that one person might easily be controlling multiple admin accounts?

If we do want minimum accountability, how do we get it?  If we don't
want minimum accountability, are we willing to accept the consequences
e.g. that it's currently easy for a  banned or malicious user to get
adminship, not just once, but multiple times?
