That seems like the simplest mechanism.  We just need volunteers (I am
one), and we need to get Marcus to notify the Usenet powers-that-be of
the new moderators.

A painful process.  Vladimir/Gandalf seems to have disappeared
completely.  (The original message in this thread bounced when I sent
it to him.)  The only way to add new moderators without Marcus's help
is to have a new RFD/CFV process.  It would be like creating the
newsgroup all over again, except we'd have to convince the moderator
of news.announce.newsgroups that the current moderator was unfit
first.
