This isn't a new problem, how do you prevent a rougue admin from kicking all other admins and taking over. The simplest and a pretty effective solution is to have another privilege level: Founder. Of which there can only be one, and admins can do everything, except strip the founder of their rights. (And/or transfer the repo, if the founder can't easily undo that.)

Why not just require admin consensus for privileged actions?

E.g. removing other admins, or other permissions-related actions like the re-orging in question

If your problem case is "one rogue admin," having multiple admins and requiring consensus seems an easy fix.

You should raise that feature request with GitHub. It's a good idea.
