Yes agree. Only those who where community appointed by the community as
admins and are still interested in being involved should be handed the
admin tools.

Recently, I learned that Internet Brand employes
working on WT website as
admins recently appointed few new admins on the site without any community
consensus. Giving admin privileges to those new WT admins at new WV website
is a very bad idea...

Subject: [Wikivoyage-l] Initial userrights
Hi everyone,
In the migration process, one of the questions that has come up is the
initial assignment of the administrator rights. Our current plan is to
assign administrator rights to anyone who currently has them on the legacy
Wikivoyage wiki (and I'm certainly open to expanding that to include the
legacy Wikitravel wiki, I just don't know how many people are in that group
that aren't already wikivoyage administrators).
I wanted to toss that out as a discussion point here and see what the
general feeling was about that as an opening position? Am I way off base?
Is there something else that would work better? My main interest here is
a lightweight system that will work to get the project launched.
