Yes, though I'd add:

Every individual user who wants to moderate a sub should PM u/Magnora7 with a request to moderate the sub, and give as evidence their post and comment history that they have behaved in good faith at Saidit. They should ask him on the weekends. This is because he's obviously not had the time to develop a broad plan for new mods and admins. What I've seen in the past year or so is that he'll consider individual requestions. And if the first proposal doesn't work, try again in a few weeks. What Saidit needs, /u/LarrySwinger2, is enough people who want to add posts and serve as mods. When D3 added mods a while ago, there was renewed activity, but it was not sustained, because not enough users here bother to upvote posts and get engaged. If posts are more interesting and more users are interested in them, I think that's what will help the most. (And agreed - mods have to be willing to remove the spam more often.)
