My !votes at RfA can be summarised as "Has clue, not a jerk, no big deal"

Has clue
Having a clue, to me, means a number of things (not least the definition as given by Valereee). These can be summed up as:
 * Evidence of learning from mistakes
 * Asking for help or advice
 * Having a demonstrable use case for the bit
 * Taking it slow with new permissions
 * Keeping away from AN/I (no, really..)

Not a jerk
The civility policy applies to every single editor, regardless of tenure or permissions. Deciding someone is not a jerk is pretty easy:
 * No blocks for incivility
 * No evident incivility
 * The proven ability to walk away and cool off

No big deal
Adminship is "no big deal" (though it's not WP:NOBIGDEAL) — being an admin on the English Wikipedia takes a toll on your contributions, your mental health and how you view Wikipedia in general.

Put simply: Where's the "big deal" in all of that?
 * The buttons are "no big deal", but the added stress and drama is.
 * You will regret becoming an admin some days — "just editing" was easier.
 * You will make the same number of mistakes — it's just they'll now be pointed out to you a lot more harshly.

All that being said, when I say no big deal, what I really mean is supporting an editor "brave" enough to give it a go is no big deal to me.

Providing you have some clue and aren't a jerk, the rest really isn't a big deal.

tl;dr:
 * I default to supporting requests for adminship
 * I default to wanting to nominate people for adminship
 * I'm more likely to just not support a request than actually oppose it
