Yep, count me in.
Set up a new User Group for setters - they ask to join you and get accepted.
That gives you both a forum to formalize the rota, and a pool of users to call on.

How do you setup a group on here Paul ?

That's a good question ... I followed the instructions on site: CodeProject Member FAQ - How do I create a group?[^] and failed at the first step: I see just a list of the groups I'm in ...
Normally I'd ask @chris-maunder or @sean-ewington but I know Chris isn't here anymore, and I have no idea about Sean.
In fact I have no idea who among the admins are still involved: who the heck is running this place? Judging by the lack of advertising, I'd have to guess at "no-one" and assume that the site is going to die when the server contract / domain registration expires. 
I'll really miss it if that happens.

While I applaud the initiative, the optimist in me cannot help but wonder if it's any use, given the current zombie management of CP.

I must have missed something here. I know that Chris and Matt have left, but I don't think the hamsters have been left completely unattended. What do you know here that I don't?

I don’t have any inside information, but I just notice that there has been not even an official peep about all these changes. Past (sad) experiences make me think of some corporate overlords who don’t know what to do with a newly acquired property. We’ll see…
BTW I think it’s safe to add Kent to the MIA gang.

Excuse my ignorance:
What is CCC?
What is WSO?
What is DD?

Cryptic Crossword Clues - it's the way we prove we aren't LLMs
Winner Stays On; the arcane tradition, often seen in pool halls, where the winner stays on the table. By on, we don't actually mean that they have to climb on the table. That tends to be frowned upon.
Dalek Dave. A Dr Who fanatic who wanted to stand for election in UK local elections. He was an accountant and CCC fan, who stumbled into CP one day and decided it was much more interesting than working for a living, so he squatted in the lounge. (My apologies to those who just had an unpleasant mental image of this).

EDIT: Saving this one for CCC OTD. I rather like the answer to this clue.

Sounds like a plan. You want to take over management? I'm fine either way.
We may need to change how it works though - winner stays on didn't seem to encourage most people.

What could we replace/complement WSO with though ? I think what stopped some people answering was the fear of having to set one. It was easier when DD set it every day.

Yeah, the Dalek was OK - but after his massive defeat I think he was too embarrassed to show his face again. His rep shows he hasn't logged in since the end of 2016 ... so chances are CP messages go straight to the Junk pile or he's changed his email.* Pity.
* Or he's doing the work he's paid for instead of hanging around the Lounge. Unlikely, I know, but ...
