We've just had a bit of turnover of our list administrators. In order to get moderation going smoothly again, I've added Asaf Bartov as an admin. I don't think that decision will be controversial.
Richard has resigned for his own reasons, after putting in more than his fair share of work here. Thehelpfulone has been removed following a prolonged silence.
I would like a third active moderator. You can volunteer on this thread, or send a message to wikimedia-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org. This should be No Big Deal, and while there are technically no requirements, getting the reference is a bonus.

I can do it if necessary.

Hi, Austin. Is the position reactive or is it proactive?
What is the average time investment per month?

A few reminders/clarifications:
New subscribers are moderated by default. Once they've proven not to be spammers or trolls, they get whitelisted. Meanwhile, this does involve active moderation.
It also requires mature judgment. This list is as laissez-faire as we can keep it, but occasionally threads get out of control or people need to be temporarily muted so they can sleep on things.
This is basically an "on-call" position. Set up a notification on your phone and you should be good, but that will happen several times a day. The ideal turnaround time should be three hours, max. (I forgot to mention it in my original post, but staggering time zones is a goal.) If enough good candidates arise, we may end up with 4-5 moderators. Again, TSBNBD.

I regret seeing THO fade away. I found him to be likable, polite, and competent.
I think well of Shani, and as she already has some experience with moderation duties, I would like to second her (self-)nomination.

Please don't take my factual statement (sorry, law student) to be throwing shade on THO. He's a great guy, and I understand that of late he hasn't had the time to commit to this particular job.

Hi,is there a link where a generic subscriber can find a ("decently" updated) list of sysops? in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration%C2%A0I find no specific information about that. Is this on purpose? Also how can we know what are their "usual time zones" if we want a profile to apply to fit a gap? I mean, can you give us a disaggregated analysis, such as "currently two are UTC+1, two are UTC-6 and one is UTC+2". Just curious.

I didn't receive this message at all, but yes, Alessandro raises two good points.
I'm UTC+(1|2), and Asaf is UTC-(7|8). The time zone really isn't a deciding factor—it's a "nice to have."
As Katie said, the Mailman page is current. If there's a wiki page out there with incorrect information, let me know, or just fix it yourself. :)
