OK. Let us get serious.
I humbly assert that this process (many Wikipedians, face to face, in a pub in London) breaks any modern standards of the selection process (e.g. all candidates being asked the same set of questions).
Actually, I think it's fairly standard to do things this way. The interview-in-a-pub technique is very well known, and it's perfectly normal to have candidates for senior jobs meet the people they would be working with before any final decisions are made. I don't see a problem with merging the two.
