I hear you.  I will help with this, if you like.  Is there a guide for
ml moderation?  I saw a page on EmacsWiki[1] but it is mostly a list
of lists.  In any event, you are welcome to contact me off list by
email or via carlc@svh.  I am volunteering mostly for async types of
tasks like this right now because coding currently goes very slowly
for me, so I think you should take on others also given more people do
step forward. (And please feel free to disregard this if you already
got enough help, etc.. :)

Warm regards,
Corwin
