I totally agree with that. But with an automated "overseer" to keep responsibility in check, the norm is inactivity. If the admin is inactive then he/she gets demoted. I propose a slightly more aggressive approach. If a admin is only minimally active, then a warning should be given. This should not matter if the wiki is large or small. The admin can always step up activity to heed the warning. It is just my vantage point on largely inactive admins that I have seen (on a big wiki).
