As I've said, I do think that having more active staff is a good thing.

I'd also be willing to say that having some way to clearly identify active staff would be good. Not too up on what bots can do, but could we, say, have a bot that "demotes" staff members to a Retired Admin rank, and possibly adds their name to a list, after a set period of inactivity, with Retired Admins having the authority to promote themselves out of retirement? From there, we could get the actual numbers on who's around to see how many new admins are really needed, and it would be easier to argue for why they need to be, without stepping on any toes/burning any bridges. (And if not a bot, doing this manually would be my next choice as an option.)
