Instead of restricting the power to sysops, everyone (registered) should

able to vote, with clear criteria. You'd get something like the

*Or* the process of becoming a sysop should become automated so that most regular users are sysops.
And stating that only "high level" sysops can unmark milestones...
Why not have milestones done the usual wiki way?
Try consensus first, then do voting.
No fancy mechanisms or sysop only policies.

It doesn't look like anything technical would be required. If there is a concensus on the talk page, then mark in the comments that it is a version that everyone seems happy with. Mark R.
