I'd also like to remind people of proposals mentioned at: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_details_special_page whereby the sysop process could be better automated by a nomination / confirmation system. Something like:
- anybody (or perhaps any sysop) could nominate a user for sysophood
- the nomination would be displayed in a prominent log page of some sort
- after a delay of a couple or a few days, that user automatically
becomes a sysop
- IF AND ONLY IF at least one other sysop seconds the nomination
- UNLESS any sysop (or perhaps any user) rejects the nomination during
the waiting period
I still don't agree with people becoming sysops without their having given their own positive consent.
