As the FAQ maintainer, I assume you know who the regular participants
are in the newsgroup. Also means you know how much time they spend
posting to the group, and how well they write. Before sending out a
general call, I suggest you contact those people privately to see if
they'd be willing to take it over. Besides the above points, you also
need someone who's gonna put in the time, knows enough about the
newsgroup, and is willing to be an active part in it--finding someone
who already fits the bill would be easiest.
