This is late, but I feel that these rules aren't really necessary, as if a newbie made an admin request they would be almost guaranteed to fail anyways, so the rules aren't going to do anything to help prevent bad users from being admins. The warning in four months thing and less than 300 edits part could arbitrarily exclude potentially valuable users from becoming admin candidates. The user will pass if the community believes they would be a good admin and will fail if the community believes the candidate is unfit for adminship, so it should be more based on what the rest of the community thinks instead of applying restrictions, that do a worse job of preventing bad RFAs from becoming successful.
