In the Hebrew Wikipedia it's pretty straightforward: A proposal is made at the Village Pump-like page, people bring up arguments for and against, and if there are no strong arguments against, an administrator makes the gadget default after a few days.
I know more about how it becomes a gadget, rather than how it becomes default.
It's done at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals . It's not very formal currently. Basically, there is a proposal, then if no one objects after a few days (or there is consensus despite the objection), an admin can make it a gadget.
It looks like people may also propose making them default at the same page, but I'm not sure. People may want to get wider input at Village Pump (technical) in such cases.
