If he is inactive for 60 days, somebody with community support can try to adopt the wiki through the Adoption:requests page; you don't have to leave him a message at that point. That said, I know that Sxerks tends to watch the adoption requests and, in the past, has started to edit again when any requests for rights have been made on one of his wikis.

I'm sorry but there is not much you can do in terms of adoption as long as he remains even partially active; perhaps instead of asking him to promote you to bureaucrat you could request that he promote somebody else to admin to help you out when he cannot be there? He might be more willing to do that.

Alternately if you and the others feel strongly enough that he is not helping the wiki you could have a vote about demoting him; if the community agrees you can request that staff remove his rights.

While he may not have quite given you guys the answer you wanted, he has definitely decided to show an interest in editing the wiki again...
