You could ask staff to demote inactive bureuacrats, if the community agrees. But that's not really needed, inactivity isn't that bad - and demoting him also risks alienating him :). If he does nothing with it, it's not that bad.

As for the way forward... you'd need to become a b-crat. You can ask the founder (and give him some time to respond. Also, start a community discussion explaining what you want and what it would mean to the others (promotions!), and then start an Adoption - make it clear you want b-crat rights and link to the discussion.
