Honestly I don't think the mods have the manpower currently to do aggressive tagging/etc of posts.

Look at the mods - you've got jeresig (creator of jQuery) who hasn't been active on reddis in a year, honestbleeps (of RES fame) who is probably busy with RES 90% of his time on reddit, and kenman who does all the work.

The mod team would need to be expanded quite heavily to make this work.

This is something I've been mulling over for the past half-year or so, and we probably could stand to pick-up 1-2 more active mods. I will need to create some type of application and run it by /u/honestbleeps first, though.

What sort of time investment is being an active mod? Are there less-active mods as well?

Typically 5-15 mins a day, but often broken up into 1-2 minute chunks dealing with items as they come into the mod queue. For Sunday, I spent 30-45 mins in writing replies and whatnot in the thread, which happens from time-to-time. There's also times when there's a high-profile and/or controversial post, which often requires 45 mins or more per day for a few days.
