Rarely editing is actually not a big deal. Specially when we have an admin here who hasn't edited in months (and not to mention, four bureaucrats who haven't edited in decades...), but we still keep them around.

I'd say all it takes to make a good admin is regular editing and admin-like duties (blocking trolls, promoting trustworthy users etc.) - there doesn't need to be a special task directed to each admin to make them special. I myself don't have any *special* tasks--I just do as mentioned above.

Disregard inactivity (like vacations, school etc etc etc.) because it means nothing when we have a bureaucrat here who's only made 5 edits in the last three years.

Just stick to what you do! As long as it's helpful, it's appreciated!
