Btw, the en:Wikipedia:Administrators page
absolutely
do not indicate this mailing list as being the

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.
Sorry, I assumed this was posted to wikipedia-l, not wikitech-l, since it's not a technical issue. Yes, wikipedia-l is the right place to ask.
ok again. Changing the page.
And the magic is "update user set user_rights='sysop' where user_name='newsysopname';", which can be done from a MySQL prompt on the server, or with the SQL query page by any developer.
I know so little of database handling that I would never dare doing it myself :-)))
Until a few more French and German an other foreign language-speaking developers step up to help manage things, you won't get quick response on lists the current developers don't read.
So true. Sigh. But I can't resist a user making droopy eyes because he asked to be sysop nearly a month ago and still is not :-(((
