Given that WikiProjects generally will have a better idea of the character and contributions of participants (compared to those whose idea of RfA is an extended box-ticking process), I'd like to see projects look around and nominate some of their stalwarts who don't yet have the mop and bucket.
Anecdotally, I see a lot of people decline the opportunity because the RFA gauntlet is so obnoxious.
Looking around, reform of RfA seems to have been thought of seriously in 2006, but perhaps not since. [[Wikipedia:Admin coaching]] has offered one solution: is this not being productive? One thing that occurs to me is that a self-test page could be useful.
