One problem is that there's never been anyone else volunteering to moderate who was remotely appropriate. We've had a few messages over the years from people who'd never interacted with the subreddit, but moderated a lot of small, unrelated ones, who were clearly looking for an internet power trip. The moderator that isn't me was recruited not because he volunteered, but because I noticed them reporting the majority of rule-violating posts and posting constructive comments, so they were already doing some of the work and clearly had an interest in keeping things running smoothly. I can't use the same strategy again as reports disappear forever once someone's dealt with them, so we can't look at stats, and instead have to remember what we've seen in the past, but I've not really had my finger on the pulse of the community recently, so have nothing to remember.
As for installing backup moderators, it looks like Reddit admins have always removed the entire team so far unless there were particularly vocal scab mods who were opposed to a shutdown in the first place.
