Kind of depends really. If the bureaucrat demoted themselves and the next day changed their mind, sometimes (I use sometimes loosely) Staff will be kind enough to reinstate them on request. Depends entirely on the wiki situation and the Staff (which they will typically look into if you S:C it). It won't hurt if they want to ask Staff through Special:Contact (worst case scenario, they just tell you ask the community/or current admins)

Though if it's been a while since the removal of rights, then that former bureaucrat would have to go through the standard policies of the local community of promotion again (be it asking the current bureaucrats or adopting the wiki when the admins are inactive).

Community support also plays a role. If the community wants them back as a bureaucrat, then that typically should be heard.
