This was one of the concerns that OpenOffice.org had when they started 
their native language lists - they built a team of leaders for the 
native language projects that included several co-leads for each 
language so they were well supported.  I guess we have to start small, 
but think BIG. ; )   Once a lists starts it will also new attract 
members that will be willing to  help support the list.
