Speaking of which, what is the status of making a user rights promotion 
interface available to Admins again? I remember somebody else asking for 
Admin privileges before and I don't think anybody followed-up on it. 
Wikipedia is growing so fast that we need more people like JeLuF to be Admins 
and there currently is a bottleneck at the developer/Jimbo level. 

IMO somebody should be able to simply ask the list for Admin privileges and 
then if a current Admin agrees then that Admin should be able to go ahead and 
do the promotion so long as nobody else disagrees.
