By that measure, a serious spammer or vandal could get Patroller and Rollback rights if they weren't blocked by an admin who checked their history. There are quite a few people that I have thought deserve patroller, roll back, and other tools long before they were in the top 15 of the leaderboard.

I prefer to watch Special:RecentChanges, and examine a random sample of pages edited, in order to assess qualifications.

Make no mistake, there are a lot of bigger (and some better) wikis out there. As far as "big" wikis go, this one is pretty small. It's all about continuing to grow, and making this wiki better and better. Of course, I'm a bit partial to this one... :-)
