@DEmersonJMFM :

I still believe it is a better solution. For example, when the "contract" is about to expire the "wiki" could automatically notify all active users that a new admin needs to be promoted because the current bureacrat will be ineligible for some time e.g. (6 months or so). Alternatively, if there are no other active users in the wiki the current admin could retain their adminship for the next time period.

I read somewhere that wikipedia has a  system in which inactive admins are automatically informed that their rights will be revoked if they are inactive for perhaps one or two years, and if they don't respond within a specific time it is removed. In fact, wikia itself seems to have had a mechanism that could automatically promote a user if they edited an abandoned wikia (can't recall where these docs are).
