Possibly because some of see this should be a case of removal of rights,
be it temporary or permanent, rather than this argument about blocks and
unblocks in a competition between admins. This is the purpose of
bureaucrats to manage rights and for stewards to manage an emergency.

You can still go to the Phabricator task and do that. (It was linked
before but for convenience it is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150826 .) The patch was about five
lines, it's not hard to rewrite if someone has a better idea of what to
do.
What's frustrating to me in these kinds of threads is that people are
very eager to discuss how the discussion should have happened, but
don't seem very interested in the discussion itself.
