Hmmmm
Tricky issue here.
I have discussed it a bit on the polish irc channel.
I am not entirely sure what had been decided regarding passes on the en.wikinews.
And there is the issue of the editor in chief, which might be tricky.
Could we discuss this together ?

Is this a requirement under Polish law, or what is the reason that this specific position title is needed? In German we would have someone called the "ViSdP" ("Verantwortlich im Sinne des Presserechts", "Responsible person according to press law"). This is more about responsibility for content than an editor role. I would not be surprised if Polish press law has a similar requirement. Are you sure "editor in chief" is the correct translation?

We also have a phone line for en.wn credential verification. I believe they've been used a couple times.

Actually I don't think it was ever used to actually verify credentials. It was used by Jimmy Wales once, and a few times by random callers leaving some general comments about Wikinews.
