One starting point in your city / region would be to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup , attend the next meetup and start infiltrating the MediaWiki / tech agenda there. There is no point in keeping the traditional divide between readers/editors and tech/coders forever.
Hey I would if there was one in either of the two cities I currently live in (University and "home" are in different cities). Heck no city from either of the two provinces I live in even make it anywhere on that page. [before I walk into the whole - you should start one yourself, I'm much too lazy ;) ]
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.
Time will tell. We are not attempting to convince you. :) As long as you point to the right URL anybody interested in forming a group and you attend the activities happening near you, it's all fine.
By all means, if stuff actually happens I'll be just as happy as the rest of you :)
