A great deal of the AC mailing list traffic is actually just this kind of appeal. That is one hold-up to the real cases: either an email is given attention when it comes in, involving at least a rough discussion of the history, or it will simply be lost. 

Community bans are now used on most of the no-brainer cases as it is. That means the AC gets the trickier stuff - if the cases were easier, we'd vote on them quicker.
