Looking forward to meeting in you in Brussels!
Well... In fact, it works like this: a project or a group of projects (NetBSD and FreeBSD work together for example) requests a DevRoom and manage them.
So what should be done in 2013 is request early a MediaWiki devroom for one day (and we should kindly but strongly secure the Saturday if we've an outreach goal, as the interest, motivation of external people is higher).
As someone that has been involved in "let's requested a FOSDEM devroom" discussions before, I believe that the outcome actually reflects how fit your project is to receive new contributors: if you don't make it is probably because you are not ready for it.
We were not ready for FOSDEM 2013 but I do hope we will be ready for FOSDEM 2014.
PS: established MediaWiki groups in Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Cologne, Berlin etc would definitely contribute to that goal (hint, hint).
