There do not seem to be any active checkusers. This is a bit of a problem. For example, there is an outstanding request re User JB196, a prolific sockpuppeteering vandal, who uses open proxies; checkuser on the accounts identified and blocked will allow the quiet blocking of some open proxies. Maybe that's not what checkuser is for (but then, maybe it is).
Anyway, do we need to get a couple of technically savvy long-term trusted admins to request checkuser access, and if so what's the best process to avoid a trollfest?
