In this case, "editor" doesn't mean "someone who writes something for the newsletter". It means the same as it does in a printed newspaper: "someone who checks what has been written and assembles it to be published". Everywhere else on the wiki, editor means "anyone who makes a change or writes something new".

For things like this, we want people who have demonstrated responsibility before we entrust them with it. And one of the ways to earn that trust is by having them contribute for a while before they're considered for this. You came here three days ago and the only thing you've done on this wiki so far is to ask to be the editor of the newsletter. In my experience, the people who show up and immediately ask for a position of responsibility like being an administrator generally aren't ready for it or don't have the commitment for it or are asking because they have an ulterior motive.

You can work your way towards an editor of the newsletter by writing articles for it and making edits on the other pages.
