I'm going to totally disagree.
While more mods may or may not be on the agenda, approaching
mailing-list subscribers to do that job just isn't going to happen.
Every mod has been appointed because they have done the work.
They have helped out almost daily, have shown a depth of knowledge, have
 coped with FAQ's and have done everything consistently. I do not think
using a mailing-list for selection criteria is a good one. Example: I've
been subbed to the hackers list since it's inception. You wouldn't want
me reviewing code and the task is no less important.
