The way I've done this is to place a note in Robert's entry that he is
the moderator of such-and-such mailing list. You could always merge the
entries, but then it wouldn't be as easy to use name completion.

Check out the bbdb-notice-hook and the function bbdb-auto-notes-hook. This
will let you set up a variable, bbdb-auto-notes-alist, in which you can add
to various fields of the bbdb record. The docstring on the
bbdb-auto-notes-alist variable is fairly self-explanatory.
