Varun,

It is easy to say "He will receive an email about the tasks done in his absence". However, how do you propose to compose that email?
Where and how is the information used to construct the email stored while the moderator is on vacation. If on a queue, which queue? ... etc.

You seem to imply that each individual has a ToDo list of tasks. If that is the case, in the normal course of business, how will you handle the situation when there are two or more moderators and one of them processes a request.
