Hello there, I can not tell you right now what kind of assistance is needed as I do not know what actions are available in the first place. Similarly, I do not know who is in charge in such extreme situations. Currently the discussion on the ongoing issues has mostly moved to the meta pages[1]. As far as the proposed block is concerned, you can expect more on that topic from an admin (Argo Navis) who was in that capacity in 2005-2009.
