In the migration process, one of the questions that has come up is the initial assignment of the administrator rights. Our current plan is to assign administrator rights to anyone who currently has them on the legacy Wikivoyage wiki (and I'm certainly open to expanding that to include the legacy Wikitravel wiki, I just don't know how many people are in that group that aren't already wikivoyage administrators).
I have no objections as far as German and Italian Wikivoyage are concerned because in these projects all sysops were elected by the community.
Regards, Jürgen.
