I had to look it up: an MVI is a Moderator Vacancy Investigation.
There's no need for an investigation.

I've been exchanging emails with the previous moderator.  He's too
busy to take up moderation duties again, but he still has the
account and is willing to hand it off.  We've also been discussing
it in comp.lang.c.  One user in comp.lang.c has expressed interest
in having comp.lang.c.moderated revived as an active newsgroup.
Several others have not necessarily advocated reviving it, but
would participate if it were revived (I'm in that category myself).
It's likely that one or more people would be willing to serve as
co-moderators (nobody has volunteered to take on 100% of moderation
duties).
