Why yes, I _am_ a gang-upper oner in appropriate context. And I like making up words.

ganger upon (or ganger up on)

it's like attorneys general - you mess with the first word in the multi-word title.

in the case of "attorney general" it's because it's doing the (french?) postfix-adjective thing (cf "major generals"); i'm not entirely sure that's analogous to "gang up" but i'm not entirely unsure either.
