What about actually doing something?
That, sir, is insulting. If you want to propose a resolution,
do so, but please do not attempt to hand out jobs.
Volunteering to do something is much more appreciated than complaining.
I felt free to remind you and Dave that offering your help is all you
need to do if you want to manually maintain a list of people. I hope
Dave did not feel insulted [oops, see below]. Apologies to Simon, but in
spite of thinking about it for a while, I can't really find a gentler
way to tell you that if you really want to see something done, offering
your help is your best option. This is true for minor tasks like
maintaining a list of moderators as well as for bigger, more significant
tasks.

Is such a hostile and insulting attack necessary?
Well, if you felt insulted too, apologies to you too. It is quite clear
from the context that I meant "doing something [about it]", i.e., about
that specific web page, not in general. I can't see myself being hostile
or insulting, but I cannot spend my whole day in explaining sentences.
I do not question that the ASF strives to be open and transparent, but
in the area of community building the AOO project is sadly lacking.
Comments, such as you have expressed here are, to say the least,
discouraging.
I think you got your answers and your points were taken. My comments
were surely not meant to disturb anyone and I still don't see anything
inappropriate there, but it can be that native speakers find problematic
language that was not intentionally put there. I don't think this thread
has anything useful to say any longer, and as I cannot write without
being misinterpreted, I'll be happy to move over and remind that I
welcome any constructive offer for help in any fields.
Regards,
Andrea.
