A one-month editor could be a good admin.  What a minimum time rule 
really tests is patience.  Is he willing to stick around when things get 
tedious.  If he goes away when he doesn't get made a sysop right away 
maybe he wasn't meant to be one.

Has anyone done a statistical  analysis of the day-by-day contributions 
of editors and graphed their number of edits over perhaps the first 100 
days after they registe?.  Does boredom hit suddenly or do the edits 
gradually diminish?
