I think the
point that needs to be reiterated is that sysops do not have
any special status as regards editing or creating content. More sysops
are better, and the best way to point out that ''any'' well-behaved user
can be a sysop is to make it easier to become one, and publicise this.
Perhaps we need a "how to become a sysop" page, that explains this, and a
"requests for sysop status" page where you can nominate yourself.
A page to nominate yourself exists e.g. in german wikipedia. You en guys
are late ;)
I said about ten years ago that I was going to make a page on en for this,
and then didn't. I'm going to do it now before I forget again.
