That would work, only that I think multiple moderators to one group would not 
be possible (at least I don't think so...).

Actually, there are a number of group-moderated newsgroups already.  The
example I think of immediately (someone mentioned this on raa) is
alt.humor.best-of-usenet .   Before it was group-modded, new posts came
out once/twice a week.  Now, I'd say it gets new posts once/twice a day.
It's harder to do, obviously, but I think it would be a win if it could be
implemented reasonably.
