I think [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278764#answer-278765) by @laserkittens to a community proposal is very interesting. It does not just keep track over how many that are interested, but also a qualified guess over how active the users will be, if they are potential mod material and so on. This is something that a user cooked up themselves without site support, but couldn't we do something similar for all communities? Optionally with site support. Then over time/with experience come up with some metric over how many "active", "casual" and "mod" etc candidates there should be. If this was integrated in the site, then specific users could "age away" from active to inactive in case they haven't participated in any community or meta for a while, so the data gathered would still be valid some months later, after the initial community proposal. Maybe make it so that a user on the list could "bump" their name "yes I'm still interested" etc.
