I think this is a really good idea, and will help tie together the different areas of the wiki. Typically the Chat and Forum Moderator usergroups have been more isolated from the mainspace than I would like. Requiring a small number of edits for both positions should encourage a lot of users to start editing, which will be super beneficial to us in the long run.

I also believe that raising the edit requirements for patrollers and administrators is a good decision. I don't think I've seen any qualified applicants for either position with anything close to the current minimums: the positions demand a higher level of intimacy with editing than only 500/1000 edits allow. By raising the bar for those positions, we'll be encouraging users to really work hard to get the position, which again is really good for the wiki.
