As far as the sysadmins go, the procedure is quite transparent and explicit: file a bug with the "shell" keyword and an exact description of what's desired, together with a pointer to community consensus. The only unclear part of that is the last, and to the extent that's unclear, it's as much the wikis' fault as anyone's (seen a clear enwiki policy on "what is consensus" lately?). Of course, following this procedure does not currently guarantee that your request will be dealt with in a timely fashion, which is a problem that has been noted, but the procedure is quite clear in any event.
The "shell" keyword was a new one to me.
Is the above actually written down anywhere other than your message? I suggest it should be.
