That's it!

Use
Visit Special:EmergencyDeSysop, and, fill out the form, along with the confirmation. Press submit, and, both you and the target user will be de-grouped.

Configuration
There is no configuration needed. You may want to change MediaWiki:emergencydesysop-confirmform and MediaWiki:emergencydesysop-confirm if you wish to use a word other than "CONFIRM" for confirmation of intent. MediaWiki:emergencydesysop-header should also probably be customized, along with MediaWiki:emergencydesysop-done.

Caveats
Bureaucrats are effectively untouchable, as they can simply restore their own membership to the sysop group. Additionally, they can basically (ab)use the extension, to desysop another sysop, then, immediately restore their own group membership, as many times as they'd like.
