Motivation
Larger discussion boards often need to have members take responsibility for moderating specific forums. Ploneboard should support this.
Proposal
Use Plone's existing permissions/sharing features to enable Ploneboard admin to assign forum administration permissions to specific users or groups of users.
+1
Should be as simple as enabling the sharing tab on the forum level.
Maybe use the Reviewer role for this task, or make Ploneboard create a dedicated role for Moderators (I prefer the former, though - products shouldn't add roles unless it is absolutely necessary - if you want a separate role for this, it's trivial to add if it has a permission).
