The legal system in several countries has the concept of a "vexatious
litigator" label, which, when applied to someone, means they are not allowed
to file a lawsuit without the approval of a some third party, generally a
judge.
I suggest the IESG/whomever take immediate steps to amend the appeals process
so that there is a suitable process by which someone who abuses the appeals
process by repeatedly filing pointless, unworthy appeals can be labelled a
"vexatious appellant", whereby they are barred from filing appeals unless
any such appeals are approved by some appropriate third party.
