Interesting idea, but unblocks shouldn't be up for just anyone (possibly even those who haven't bothered to actually look at the ban/block logs) to decide on. We shouldn't risk a problematic user being allowed to return to the wiki just because some people neglect to do even the slightest bit of research on the user before saying they should be unblocked. For that reason, blocks and unblocks should be left for admins to handle. The same goes for pretty much every wiki.
