Maintainer/Moderator/Administrator in Communities

I'm in the process of editing /userinfo.bml and have got to the label for naming $persons_running_community. A discussion was started on the Wiki, but it seems to have drifted off with no consensus being reached.

Personally, of the three mentioned in the subject line, I would prefer to use Administrator, or at a push, Moderator, but we could also use something else entirely. Thoughts?

for all that "mod" is common lingo, I would vote *against* it. (partly because there's the technical aspect -- managing the moderation queue -- and also because the semantic connotations don't always apply. not all communities are moderated.)

admin seems like the best option to me, unless someone comes up with something better...
