To keep burned out admins from leaving, we need to give them praise and encouragement. They need to be seen as some of our most valued contributors. We might also want to set up incentives.
I agree with this, but we also have the problem that a common (but not universal) near-the-end trait is blocks or other user admin stuff which turn out to be very controversial. How do you say "we really like what you've done for the project and we want you to stay" and "...but can you stop beating up newbies this badly?" at the same time?
If it were just a matter of WikiLove it would be easy.
