Done... This is the first I recal hearing of this. Was it posted to this list originally?

We have a bottle neck problem I fear.
Utilisateur:Alvaro asked to be a sysop on the french wiki quite a while ago, and nobody spoke against (indeed, several spoke for him). Then, since this is asked on our pump, he was first forgot for a while. Had to kindly ask again. So I put a message asking for him to be made sysop in the database on your page Brion, on the english wikipedia, as well as the metapedia if I remember well.
He still is not sysop. It is clear it is a pain for you developpers to do this type of chore; Ed mentionned it several times. So, we wait, and ask again, and again.
But, then, isnot there a way for us to make people on the international wikipedia ourselves ?
Could there be something like a query, which could allow french sysop to make french user (just an example of course) a sysop automatically ? Maybe a list of user could be displayed, and one sysop could click on the name of one user to make him sysop ? Of course, it would be absolutely required then than a log is clearly visible to everyone, to avoid abuse.
Is something like this possible or not ?
Meanwhile, could someone please make Alvaro sysop ?
Also, as Aoineko mentionned previously, the mispelling page is quite broken, and has never been working well since we are phase III (31th of october). It was already reported.
I know you are overbooked. Is there something we can do (ok, not me, but there are some developpers among us) to make that work ? Do the other international wikipedias using accentuated letters do have the problem as well ?
