bzimport set Reference to bz13521.
bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

I am not sure if this is such a great idea. It would be much easier for vandal accounts to edit semi-protected pages/move pages/upload images on multiple wikis as they'd need to fill the criteria only once (i.e. wait some days).

I think this would be ok when combined with the ability of global blocks.

Indeed - that would be quite an exploit. Note that the users most needing this (cross-wiki vandal fighters) have the appropriate permissions applied to the global group such that this is unnecessary. Suggest WONTFIX.
