Well possibly not the week of Christmas to address point #2.

But the bureaucrat, in this case, returned to say that he would be happy to discuss giving you the rights. So unless you are just unwilling to talk to him about it, I closed the request mostly because I assumed he meant what he said.

I know he asked to use email but feel free to reply on-wikia (a new message on his talk page/wall should generate another notification email anyhow) and if he doesn't actually respond again let me know and I can give you the rights instead. A bureaucrat saying "I'm interested in giving you rights." after a year of no activity does not make the wikia ineligible for adoption; but I hope you can respect that they should have a chance to follow through themselves.
