[Wikimedia-l] Event coordinators: how to create many accounts from 1 IP address

So, I often find myself doing outreach related to enwiki before large
groups, and while I have no interest in becoming a sysop, could really use
the Account Creator permission.  Is there really no page to publicly
request this?  The instructions cited below, taken from here[1], suggest
so, but that just feels broken.  I don't like the idea of privately
reaching out to some admin for this permission.
