For promotion from admin to bureaucrat, we only require that the other admins have been inactive for 30 days, and any bureaucrat inactive for 60 days. This condition was met. If other admins have edited more recently then yes, they will need to be messaged directly about the promotion. You are an admin there yourself, but you had not been active on the wiki since October, and have only made a few isolated edits in the last year.

In terms of the wider community, we only require a blog post or other announcement when there are current editors to respond to it. But there was nobody with sustained editing activity on the wiki in the 30 days previous to the request being answered. There were a few users with a few edits on a single day, but this is not "sustained" in any way, so no blog post was required.

I'm sorry, but the answer to the adoption request stands. Given that Dv54321 has only used the bureaucrat rights to re-promote a user I had demoted for inactivity during the adoption, I do not see that they are in any way being abused. You are welcome to pursue demotion as Minato826 suggested.
