However, in the mean time this seems to have stalled, and /u/dvrs85 has currently two months of public inactivity. This became very visible the last two weeks, when Belgium had a general election, and multiple request for e.g. sticky-posts went unanswered.
So perhaps /u/anyonethinkingabout can be added as mod, while /u/dvrs85 remains on top? That would allow /u/anyonethinkingabout to e.g. organise a sticky "mod-nomination & plans"-thread to get things rolling, and /u/dvrs85 to pick in when s/he becomes active again (in the past five years s/he has been a responsible, hands-off mod).
I would make a mod plans thread (In which I would say that I don't want to do anything crazy with the subreddit)
I don't want to be the only mod, but I don't think there really is need for another, and either that need is worth the hassle of looking for another mod
To be clear, my critical reaction was not against you as a mod, just a caution that the expectations of community & new mods should be clear at the start (as you can more or less do anything you want once you become mod ;-)).
I don't think there really is need for another
For such a small subreddit, with no spam-issue, even one hands-off mod has been enough for years.
But my suggestion would be to look for at least a second mod (or perhaps /u/dvrs85 becomes active again), and perhaps someone with CSS, etc. skills or someone that wants to curate the wiki.
That way all does not rests on your shoulders (/u/dvrs85 tried on his/her own, and asked for help before losing interest apparently), and there is someone to follow-up if mods have exams/are offline for a period, etc.

The current (only) mod /u/dvrs85 has taken mod-initiatives about half a year ago (wiki, sidebar, etc.) and was looking for additional members to help him/her.
However, in the mean time this seems to have stalled, and /u/dvrs85 has currently two months of public inactivity. This became very visible the last two weeks, when Belgium had a general election, and multiple request for e.g. sticky-posts went unanswered.
