This mailing list is the place to put sysop requests. That's what the Wikipedia:Administrators page says to do,
Btw, the en:Wikipedia:Administrators page absolutely do not indicate this mailing list as being the right place to ask for sysop rights. It mentions it *only* for developper status.
The page recommand to ask sysop status on the en.mailing list. Then I guess someone agrees for the new sysop, then by some magic, the user is named sysop.
Clearly, international wikipedias cannot follow that pattern. No international user will come either to the english list, nor to the tech list for sysophood, but likely to the specific language list, or the admin page, or pump. Hence, the procedure given for english-speaking people cannot be identically followed on international wikipedia. It requires one more step, as not only other users have to agree, but someone has to ask and check until it is done.
