Not sure I want that.

The 'wiki way' has always involved the idea that if you are fed up of the wiki, you take a break. Some people make a big deal about that, which is a pity (flouncing takes some dress sense, in my experience ...) 

People in standing who leave and come back should be welcomed. That's about it.

We do have an Arbitration principle that those who give up admin powers while 'under a cloud' cannot expect to resume them without confirmation.
