To jump into the conversation late...

We generally don't give rights though, because that's the job of the wiki's bureaucrat - usually after they have talked to the community.

But when all the admins/bureaucrats are inactive, that's where adoption comes in. As Sophiedp said, adopting just means you become the active bureaucrat, and work to grow and improve the wiki along with any community there :)
