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?

I would very much prefer Community Administrator; I'm sure it'll get abbreviated in the wild to something like comm admin but I find it far less ambiguous than anything else. And I doubt it'll conflict with other instances of Admin(istrator), since it's going to always be within the context of a community.
