There never has been a policy on this, one way or the other, at
Wikisource. Perhaps it's simply because the project is just too new.
Angela imported Wikipedia rules on the matter (and a number of others)
which she felt should also apply to Wikisource. This became one of the
areas of contention which she and I have been having. Such a rule(s)
may eventually be needed, but that has to come from the active
Wikisourcerers themselves.
Mav has been around this Wiki World a little longer than I, and has gone
to the expense of protecting the wikisource.org domain name. His
willingness to be a Wikisource sysop should be all that is required there.
