Before writing that proposal i reviewed many, many pages of "RFA is broken" discussions not just in the English Wikipedia, but in Hebrew, Russian and Catalan ones, too. Nowhere have i found a proposal to dump the concept of adminship completely and to split it into several roles, although i admit that i didn't read all the archives through.

It has been suggested before. It's even on the "Perennial proposals" page on the English Wikipedia. The page about this proposal specifically is:
