This list is actually hosted and administered by someone located in NY list at lists.debian.org can be moderated by NY person too... If it has to be a Debian developer, I can take the burden of the duty, but may be anyone else (like you) could moderate it -- I am not sure since I never owned a mailing list at lists.debian.org > .
