I cannot stress this enough: Please be bold and add new scoring criteria yourself if you think of any. I don't touch all admin areas, so I can't know how big of a score everything should get.
As a way to help deal with the backlogs, I (User:Grandmasterka) would like to propose an informal admin backlog contest. This was inspired by this discussion on WT:RFA, with deletion stats for each admin, and something similar to this was proposed for the future when the backlogs became large for days or weeks at a time (see NoSeptember's final comment in the above-linked discussion.) This may be that time.
The admin backlog contest would take place during an agreed-upon week, or perhaps start and end each consecutive week. The weekly winner would be recognized with a wikicertificate and be acknowledged in the Wikipedia Signpost. The totals could be entirely self-reported, or it could be overseen by an admin who would recuse themselves from the contest, and the contest could focus on all areas, or a different area each week.
