This is already working, but is not yet fully enbled. (It'll be
soon). The default threshold for mail volume is 60%.

IMO, people who have an inclination to fill any of the roles will just
speak up themselves, like Bjorn did for mailing lists moderation.

Also from my experience, admins have much better ways to spend their time
than documenting and listing trivial tasks and "begging" for someone else
of non-admins to work on them.

The "less important things", by definition, are not important enough to
have the important time devoted to them.

In any case, it looks to me like you've rotated all possible and 
impossible schemes in your mind (and on the list), without showing real
desire to fill any of the positions yourself.
