Dear Jim,
I think important forum threads/posts should be 'raised' to the corresponding lists by forum administrators.
One who feels responsible should then step in and take care (everyone of us should be able to log in to the forums and to reply to a thread. at least me is already doing so).
This is how it works @CentOS and it works fine so far.
This seems like a good idea to me; I've been discussing an idea like this to with some of the forum members and it seems to be being well-received as well. The biggest concern expressed was that we not limit people from participating in other venues (such as restricting bug entry) and using this type of 'escalation' as a replacement for that. I don't see how or why we'd do that, though.
Could we perhaps arrange (regular) irc meetings with all forum moderators?
That might be a good place to start. I know when we made the change to have our admin group (I'm one of three, plus we have a technical administrator), we were invited to participate in the project meeting that week, but I was on holiday when that took place, and I know at least one of the others was unavailable as well). The three of us are very geographically distributed - I'm in Utah, Carl is in the UK, and John is in Australia - if I remember correctly. The mod team is similarly distributed globally. Not that that's a huge problem for getting some to attend such a discussion, of course, but something to be aware of (as I'm sure everyone here is since the entire project is highly distributed geographically).
