About Polish Wikipedia: I appointed myself as one who
sshes into Wikipedia server and does UPDATE users SET
user_right='sysop' WHERE user_name='Foo' when we
decide somebody should become a sysop. (so far
I did it only once, most sysops rights were given in
older "mail to Brion" process)

The decision process looks like that:
* X says he/she wants to become a sysop
* nobody opposes that
* X becomes a sysop
