The problem is that some of the sysops want to use the tool, but nobody
has access to it.
Yes, I know - I'm trying to help the w:nl community select people to put
forward to have access to the tool. "All sysops" is far too broad (indeed,
"all bureaucrats" is, too). Thus we must find a singleton (or other very
small) set of people trusted sufficiently to be given access to the tool, as
it is a very powerful and very easily abused tool and should not be (and
will not be) given out wantonly.
Am I being confusing? Sorry.
