The general answer is that it's up to the community. If the community is okay with the rights being removed, then staff won't interfere. If there is a discussion and a decision between the active admins, then that's okay too (as they are representing the community).

As far as bureaucrat rights go, only staff can remove them. We will do so after 1 year of inactivity, or sooner if the community is clearly in favor of that.

The other way to get rights removed, is to ask the bureaucrat to remove them himself. If you message Polar-kun to ask if they still want/need the rights, they may come back to say "no" and to remove the bureaucrat rights. It's polite to leave them a message if you are removing rights anyway.

I hope that helps
