[..] Outside of having a formal name, do we expect the "pop-up" teams to include processes that make what we went through easier? Ultimately, we still had to self-organize and do a bunch of socializing to make progress.
I think being listed as a pop-up team would definitely facilitate getting mentioned in TC reports, community newsletters or other high-vsibility community communications. It would help getting space to meet at PTGs, too.
None of those things were impossible before... but they were certainly easier to achieve for people with name-recognition or the right connections. It was also easier for things to slip between the cracks.
I agree that we should consider adding processes that would facilitate going through the steps you described... But I don't really want this to become a bureaucratic nightmare hindering volunteers stepping up to get things done. So it's a thin line to walk on :)
