This really is a must for checkusers. en.wikinews has a number of CUs, but
nobody with oversight. An offensive or privacy-revealing username will often
not be unified and a speedier access to hiding it would be very, very useful.

I think you could put the case that CheckUser is related to the actions of an
individual that is problematic; Oversight is related to content that is
problematic. Lot of overlap, but the ability to hide an offensive or otherwise
vexatious username is something I think should either be on the CU side, or
available to both groups.
