It's not necessarily for deploys (though you certainly could make a workflow that uses it to do so!) but I developed a dual-control plugin for sudo while at Square. We use it extensively.

Doesn’t that encourage using sudo in interactive mode rather than elevating for just the required commands?

I suppose you're right, but the reason that's generally advised against is so people don't run stupid stuff without thinking while root. I'd guess you're less likely to do that if a peer is watching.

And to stouset: that's a seriously cool project!

It might, but policy could specify not allowing interactive mode for situations that dictate a two-man rule. Violation of said policy would necessitate a review and possible HR-related action depending on how serious the company wants to treat things.
