Since April 1st I have received over 69 messages in regards to adding or
modifying users for the wiki. I have received 336 messages to the list.
So about 20% of the traffic on this list is editor requests.

Yeah it sucks all around, we are resource constrained. It seems what
should happen is something like:
* If you have a community account, login and select "request wiki editor
privs"
* If you don't have a community account, create one and select "request
wiki editor privs"
Then have a script that automatically does it once every 24 hours based
on N criteria.
But again, we are resource constrained. Bruce, would you be willing to
help implement some of this?
