Having fixed terms is an excellent idea. One or two
year appointments would be ample, and would not be
overly burdensom. A sysop whose term had expired could
stand for re-election after (say) 6 months.

I was of course responding to posts suggesting a
decrease in numbers would
be welcome.

The number of sysops is not something that we
should (or even can)
regulate. It's a quantity that evolves by
itself.
I don't know about that. Appointment could be for a
limited term, for
example; with a need to stand for re-election. The
system could probably be
tweaked in other ways.
Not that I advocate that. I thought it was better
to make a new thread in
which to discuss the numerical side.
