I'd favor a minimum of votes to make someone a sysop -- say 2% of the total number of active contributors (however that could be calculated). I say that knowing that I was granted sysophood with only 3 votes once upon a time, & probably only because (IIRC) Mav spoke up for me. Being a sysop requires some minimum number of references/votes of confidence.
How would that be calculated?
Given the amount of attention paid to WP:RFA, I'd say that there's little risk of candidates going unnoticed and slipping into the system.
