Please do *not* put me down as a potential candidate.
I have a bit of experience in moderating a web forum, but I do not think
of myself as qualified for this Ubuntu list. I know myself, and I'm afraid
that I may have gone a bit in the grey areas in the past. The flesh is
weak...

However I do welcome the idea in itself, and I would be happy to know that
there is someone I can talk to in case I think there is a problem. That
could be done off-list so that the list becomes less polluted by
meta-discussions (like this one).

I also welcome this initiative.
