  I am not sure about how responsiblities can be done. If we had such a 
person, I would suggest him/her to maintain a daily flag / traffic light / 
DEFCON indicator :    http://www.personalthreatlevel.com/home/threatlevel

  Maybe it would be agreeable to multiplex temporally and schedule a ML patrol 
duty roll. We put up a table with 31 rows on the roll page, and volunteers 
sign up for the days they want to scan the mail traffic.
