I think a simple way to do this is to start having a minimum number of net supports. 30, perhaps. This insures that the candidate is known enough around Wikipedia. When the readership and editor numbers of Wikipedia increases, so can the net support number, in order to accurately reflect the population.

My personal policy is to only vote for a candidate if I can personally vouch for their editing, conflict handling, and janitorial abilities.
I used to do that, but nowadays I hardly recognize any of the names, because they seem mostly to be people who fight vandalism rather than making substantive edits to articles. So I'm mostly at a loss as to how to vote and have largely given up.
