Heretical idea - why not elect all the bureaucrats anew each year like Stewards on meta.wikimedia.org? (they can stand for re-election if they want)
Nothing heretical about it, but it doesn't help get more people to volunteer for the job...
There doesn't seem to be any lack of bureaucrat candidates. Going by previous standards Mackensen would be rejected at the current level of support. Looking back over previous RfBs, quite a lot of votes are of the kind "We don't need any more bureaucrats". I don't think finding candidates is going to be the problem; the opposite problem (excess frivolous candidates) is the more likely.
