This list really, really isn't an appropriate venue for requesting an administrator's resignation. Please try to keep the discussion here on topic and focused on *technical* issues, we're on wiki*tech*-l after all. The desysopping drama paragraph above is probably the most blatantly non-technical one in this thread, but there are plenty of examples of paragraphs and even entire posts in this thread that look like they could have (and probably should have) been sent to commons-l instead of wikitech-l.
Sorry, I was merely noting what I was doing there. It was not intended to be a request here. Merely a point that underpinned the need for technical preventative measures to help ensure that runaway editors don't massively delete, or at least are caught somewhat more easily before much damage is done.
I am not subscribed there. It does appear to have been around since late 2004, and in part "to debate required technical enhancements, ...."
This list has been around somewhat longer. ;-)
