I am more concerned that we have a process to choose quality administrators, rather than invent a way to get large numbers of mediocre-to-poor ones.

A natural byproduct of this may well be that we get more administrators because the process is not so tortuous.
I agree with this. Over the past year or so I have been hesitant to nominate anyone because I prefer not to push anyone I like into the process unless they ask for it. Particularly anyone who does not have a stratospheric edit count or extreme activity in policy formation; it's very insulting for a reasonable, productive user to be opposed for "lack of experience" for not having a 3000+ edit count and I've seen it happen far too often.
