In case no new maintainer is found, using [Discourse Dynamic Groups](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-dynamic-groups/365342) and the core `approve (new topics) unless allowed groups` site settings might be a solution. You can create a group with users whose posts you want to review and a dynamic group with all users except the ones in that group, which you add to the site settings.
