<p>The moderator elections are fairly well announced and documented on the site - I'd suggest that anyone paying sufficiently little attention to the site to not notice the elections going on is probably poorly suited to being a moderator.</p>

<p>Which means, in all likelihood, if someone hasn't put their name in, it's because they don't want to be moderator. And if someone doesn't want to be a moderator, they really shouldn't be, from either the standpoint of the community, or from "Don't foist unpaid obligations on strangers".</p>

<p>I'd suggest, if you <em>really</em> think someone would make a good moderator, that you contact them (many people have Twitter usernames and the like in their profiles) or leave a comment to that effect, perhaps in response to a well-written post in CV's meta site.</p>
