I don't think that we really want to formally moderate this mailing list. Further, I don't think that this mailing list should ever be "official". If the Church starts Libre projects, they should have their own associated mailing lists, and even then I doubt they should be moderated. However there should be some enforcable expectation of mailing list posts made by active project participants (i.e. poor behavior should be allowed, but have its consequences).
