The kind of users that I'm thinking of who would qualify for the category are the ones who make valuable contributions, that would probably be considered for admin status if they were around more or for a longer time - not necessarily the ones who make a lot of edits. In fact, there's quite a few users with tons of edits that I would never consider admin material, badge hunters, category spammers, etc. - so Jamie's idea of auttomatically granting users auto-patrol privilege after a certain amount of edits seems dangerous to me.

As for Peter's doubts - Yes, it is a danger, although even if that happens, it is not irreversible, right? From what I can tell, even a rollback can be undone (at least by admins), or is that my misperception? So it's not really that much different from giving users the power to undo edits...

It's a little difficult to be throwing concrete names around here, since non-admins do follow this as well. Personally, I've got around five people in my head, no more...
