Typically, bureaucrats are sysops additionally, because the first step to promote an account is to give them sysop rights. Bureaucrats are basically the top-tier level of administrator on a MediaWiki wiki – all other groups are technically subordinate to bureaucrats, and as such, actual numbers of bureaucrats are generally quite limited, for better or worse.
