I'd be interested in taking Reportor. I have more free time now.
If people don't want an office, I'll re-post something I suggested a while ago:

So, the idea is that if there's someone good work that should be
funded, but that shouldn't be a permanently rules-defined office, the
Agoran public could vote to fund their venture.
Just for fun, an added layer of complexity could be that there's a
singleton natural switch which limits the total amount of the budget,
and requires a higher level of Agoran consent to flip. (I lived in
California for a while, and remember they had a mechanism in place
where new or increased taxes required a ballot measure to implement,
meaning the legislature kept having to ask everyone's permission for
budget-related stuff. Memories.)
