This issue is a follow-up of #3 on conflict of interest rules.

While moderation rules now mention rules to deal with conflict of interest in oversight (#7), there is no publicity of the people entitled with the moderation permission rights. As such the moderation process is devoid from any kind of accountability for an open-source project.

Here I can only invite to read more Pieter Hintjens’s (the creator and one of the main author of zeromq which is used by core in src/zmq) “Social Architecture” book (a link here https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/social-architecture/content/) on the worthiness of “Transparency in open-source project.

Excerpt: "TIP: When one person does something in a dark corner, that's an experiment. When two or more people do something in a dark corner, that's a conspiracy."

Concept ACK I've been suggesting this since the beginning of the moderation experiment. Moderators should be added and removed like maintainers: with pull requests.

Currently the only public documentation is this IRC meeting:
