I would nominate one of the project leads to do this, and, I agree, it's a
good idea. I am on several lists where this sort of thing is done; one such
list, the Broadcast mailing list, has a moderator who does a mailing list
redirect to the off-topic list (called 'The Alternate Frequency') when a
thread needs moderating.
Or, Dag, are you volunteering? :-) (A merry heart doeth good, like medicine,
so be merry).
