I'm writing this as the 2023 CRO.
The current _modus operandi_ for the elections is to collect information
about all candidates in a wiki page, and protect that wiki page from
edits. But in order to do this, the CROs have to be wiki administrators.
It'd be nice to have finer permissions instead, so that no administrator
privileges would be needed. See:

Comment (by robe):
I'll try upgrading staging to wiki 1.41 like I did with grass-wiki, I
worked out the ldap issues when adding ldap wiki support to grass-wiki,
which was what was stopping me from going beyond wiki 1.35 on
wiki.osgeo.org.
