I had responded to his adoption request; if he wants the rights he needs to have held a community discussion and leave me a link to it on my wall as I said there. I appreciate your dedication to him but a community discussion, editing an additional week while people discuss the matter, and leaving me a message, is not particularly difficult.

This is not red-tape; we do not promote users, no matter how qualified, who do not have the support (or at least indifference) of the community.

CSyde -- as long as the process is public with direct messages to the admin in question as well as a community discussion, then yes, we can give sysop rights to a single user on an active wiki after 30 days. A full adoption, with bureaucrat rights, requires 60 days of inactivity.
