 Replying to [comment:3 Ipstenu]:
 > I don't think there's an automated way to detect if someone is a
 plugin/theme author and adjust accordingly. Also not all authors SHOULD
 have this lifted (some are not responsible).

 Plugin authors already have certain privileges like being able to sticky
 or resolve a thread. I don't think it is unreasonable to, at the very
 least, reduce the limit. (Say, cut it in half.) No, it isn't difficult to
 automate, given we are already calculating these privileges for those
 other tools.
