Sounds good. Would people still request sysop status in the same way?
We could (maybe?) hash out some rules, like:
1. Must be nominated and seconded (i.e., takes N votes where N >= 2? or N
= 3?).
2. Can't nominate or second anyone till you've been a sysop
for N days (N > 30 days? N > 90 days? N > 12 months?)
Both sound like sensible rules. I see the sense in excluding very new
sysops from voting (and that would of course include me at this point).
