Agreed... it's not really desperate for a mod. What few messups there are can easily be mod-reported and taken care of by an smod (or flyin, when he chooses to materialise...). Although if someone really thinks that there should be one and wants to apply for it, by all means go ahead.
Modding depends a lot on how much you want to do with the job. You can take care of your forum only, or you can take the 'BOS representative' thing a bit further and deal with NS/Resources/various modland-admin stuff. Getting involved in second way can be a lot more than most people realise.
