If the PPMC thinks we should have a flex-users@incubator.apache.org
list now I have no problem with that, but we need a few volunteers out
of the PPMC (I'd say 3) who agree to be moderators for that list.

Moderating [1] means receiving messages sent from people who are not
subscribed to the list (a large number of which will be spam) and
accepting the ones that should make it to the list. Once the list
ramps up I estimate it'll get 10-20 such messages a day.

Do people want that list now, and who volunteers as a moderator?
Please indicate which email to use for that if you volunteer.

Can we also have a least one mentor amongst the moderators? I'd like
to avoid that one if possible.
