if that is the only purpose, then it is a lot easier to look at the mail
list configuration files, which are available to any infrastructure or
infra-interest committer of which there are plenty in this project.
All that needs to be done is whenever somebody stops being a moderator
(which happens with a jira ticket) check it there are still sufficient
moderators.
So for that purpose we really do not need an extra list.

I say the purpose is for transparency and sustainability in a way that
these arrangements are visible to our public and interested parties
without depending on membership in or ceremonies of any priesthood.
The effort involved in maintenance is out of a commitment to
provide that without requiring tacit knowledge of infrastructure
operations or anything else.
Of course, it would be handy to have documentation on how one adds
and removes administrators of this kind where newcomers could find it.
That would be much more involved and it is not being asked for.
