What is the scope of such a role?

Some suggestions about tasks assigned to the moderator / ECT leader :

- have a global overview of the different team and projects,
- encourage developers to coordinate their effort,
- maintain the different wiki / typo3.org pages up to date.

It looks like the moderator needs some good communication skills more than technical!

That's my opinion too... and the benefit goes to everyone.

Well... for many, it's often a question of time. Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have enough
realistic time to invest.

Furthermore, I see a lot of potential in gimmefive

Yes, but this kind of work is certainly harder. As I far as I have understood, lib/div is supposed 
to be a light framework without dependency with the past.

That's maybe for some historical reasons. At the time, I am not sure lib/div existed.
