Pedro,

problem is that people maybe don't know the process and this discussion 
has lost focus talking about sysop privileges instead to find solution. 
That unnecessary raise negative atmosphere burning up relations, which 
is not good. I am am noticing that in various situation on WMF not just now.
I understand that this is Internet and people are suspicious regarding 
others, but please don't act always negative.
