AFAIK the WMF accepts only paid persons anymore. But if the users would like to help, they can it even now: Update the pages in the wiki, write a patch for cron, add rules to puppet and help to clean it up, help newbies in the IRC and JIRA, add nagios-rules, prepare the switch from jira away (or find its problem), help Merl with the SGE, help Danny with the dumps, help Kai with OSM – and there are many more things. I have no problems with more roots (heh, if there are enough, I can leave ;-)). But beside the formal problems (WMF and WMDE), there is also the problem that to incorporate a new roots needs a lot of my time – and if the new root becomes inactive short time later my time was wasted. River appointed a few users to roots over the time, but I'm the only one left and most of my "colleges" were never very active. So in a nutshell: If you like to help the TS: Do it. If you need a special right and I know you, ask me and I will see what I can do. If you need to become a root and are SURE to stay, fight with WMDE and WMF (and me) and if you are successful I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes ;-).
