As far as I know, no, not really. It's not a Wikimedia Foundation issue, it's more of Wikimedia community (Meta-Wiki) issue. Someone needs to propose a global banning policy and then get (global community) consensus to enact and enforce such a policy. Once there's a reasonable level of consensus/support, the Wikimedia stewards can enact global locks on problematic accounts. Most of the technical infrastructure seems to be in place already, in some form. A bit more info is available here: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_blocks_and_locks#Global_locks>. As noted on the page at Meta-Wiki, I suppose one area where the Wikimedia Foundation could help is assigning resources to implement global blocking (currently there's only global locking). More info about that is available here: <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15294>.
