This would probably be more suited as a extension that could be enabled/disabled per a sites choice. As to that effect I'm re-componenting it as a Extension Request.

what kind of "sanctions" do you have in mind? ones which
the software is or is not smart enough to enforce?

if you mean allowing the system to prevent User:X from
editing page [[Y]] outright, obviously we would need
(even expect) a log for that, and it almost surely
would accompany such a feature if/when enabled.

if you mean keeping a db table full of "fuzzy" social-
construct sanctions like "civility parole" which have
no logical interpretation, i recommend closure forthwith
"WONTFIX".

For that you could always apply a post-it note which
says "kick me".

Not really. One cannot edit another's edit notice, without them blanking it. A notice can further easily be removed by the noted editor. Hence the need for something they can't remove, on their contribs page.

You can already build such a system similar to how editnotices on en-wiki currently work: Keep those notices in separate pages, and transclude them into [[MediaWiki:sp-contributions-footer]] if they exist.

Contributions pages are still relatively low-key so the performance impact should be acceptable, and depending on how many pages we're talking about we might even get away with keeping them in MediaWiki space.

It already exists: it's called talk page.

As for automatic stuff, there is the "abuse log" by the AbuseFilter, which can contain anything from invisible whitespace usage imperfections to criminal libel.

I'm not sure about the usefulness of this request. It looks like they request to create an extension to manage some wiki criminal records about an user. A dedicated wiki page or the talk page of the user is best suited IMHO. Blocks need to be logged, thus a block log exist, but outside community or ArbCom sanctions can be recorded on specialized wiki pages. Just an opinion though.
