We've had RFAs in the past, but they've been discontinued. I think the logic behind it is that Community.wikia isn't the average wiki, it's a wiki that staff use to communicate with users and that the community as a whole uses to discuss wikis in general, and ask for help. Because of this, a sysop on community would have to fit with the attitude that staff want - and the easiest way for staff to do that is make it invite-only.
