To be honest though, I kind of feel that if such "groups" were going to form, they probably would have already. Formality rarely makes people come together that wouldn't by themselves.
Obviously robust MediaWiki Groups won't materialize overnight, but providing a good structure and encouraging people to participate is certainly not unwelcome or impossible to pull off. You'd think contributors to the software platform behind Wikipedia would be less skeptical about the power of a few committed individuals to grow a community, but I guess people don't change. ;-)
