It's impossible to know everything about WP. There are a lot of areas of policy I'm not familiar with. Does this make me unqualified to handle my tools? Of course not - because I have enough clue to consult the relevant policy areas before doing something stupid. It's all about *trust* - not about experience. Experience is an indicator of whether the user can be trusted, but it is a means to the end of determining trustworthiness. Experience is not an end in itself.

Well, is it about "community trust" or "general trustworthiness"? The first can be easily determined by voting (opinion poll with one question "do you trust XY with the admin tools?"). The second is much harder to prove or disprove, and might be impossible to determine objectively, as it is independent of many available objective criteria.
