If it's from the same batch, then yes, you can often do this.

All too often new volunteers fail to keep interest. Virtually all website moderation is done by the same 4 or so
people,all of whom are very longterm contributors and have been doing it for years. 

I for one don't mind doing the moderation work, but I 'm wary of new ideas which may eventually become part of that
workif the initial folks lose interest. I don't think that's unreasonable.
