We don't have a policy on making someone an admin. Admin role is too strong. It 
gives all the permissions, including changing password/email of users. I'm 
trying to form a slightly less powerful role (may be called librarian) that 
allows editing all pages, reverting all edits and some parts of the admin 
interface.
