Regarding the bureaucrat status, the reason you have to get promoted by a current bureaucrat is because there are two who have edited recently. If no bureaucrat is active for a few months, then you, in agreement with the other active admin, can submit a request to staff for one of you top adopt the wiki. This is the only means by which staff will grant bureaucrat status to a user and only when there are no active bureaucrats. Well, with perhaps an exception of the active bureaucrat has violated the terms of use.
