AFAIK when someone becomes sysop [s]he remains sysop forever.
I propose sysops should be evaluated every 3-6 months; during the eval people will vote on which sysops should be kept and which should become again users.
(and no, I do not require it, it's just an idea and you can use it if you like, and feel free to disagree, but dont bite me)

The idea is that there should be a relatively low bar to sysopship, and so anyone who wants it that's been around long enough to know how things work should get it, barring some reason not to give it to them. Then once they have it, they should keep it unless some reason comes up for them not to have it.

Traditionally, WP has stated it "should be no big deal" to become a sysop. The debates on RfA show otherwise, but even so, there has been little interest in instituting a reaccreditation system.

So you mean this had been already discussed?

Yes, in several different forms - fixed terms, expiring inactive sysops. See for example:
