I don't know about "moderators", but I do think list admins are 
appropriate.  You want someone to watch the list and curtail 
inappropriate behavior (and postings), and not really to moderate the 
posts.  Moderation suggests some control over what gets posted to the 
mailing list, and unless you make the list fully moderated, that is 
impossible.

Unfortunately, one of the large disadvantages of an unmoderated mailing 
has versus a moderated mailing list or forum is the inability to 
retroactively remove posts that have been made that were not on-topic, 
or otherwise not appropriate.  That said, I'd rather have an unmoderated 
mailing list over either of the other options.  The information exchange 
is so much more important than the ridged control or inappropriate behavior.
