All Admins will automatically be given reviewer status and all other users will be able to apply for it at [[WP:Request for permissions]]; like rollback there will be a presumed threshold of number of edits and time since account was opened. An initial poll rejected the idea of autopromotion, but I notice this issue has been reopened because "only" 50 people participated in that discussion.

The poll was only ever meant to apply to the trial, with the issue open for rethink after the trial was over. I hope that still happens. I think that's really the usefulness of the trial - a lot of people are concerned because they are unsure of how exactly it will work - once we see it working in practice, people are likely may well make up their minds differently.
