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.
I guess this is the main value I see from this proposal. If it helps with visibility and communications around the effort then it does add some value to give them an official name.
I don't think it changes much else. Those working in the group will still need to socialize the changes they would like to make, get buy-in from the project teams affected that the design approach is good, and find enough folks interested in the changes to drive it forward and propose the patches and do the other work needed to get things to happen.
We can try looking at processes to help support that. But ultimately, as with most open source projects, I think it comes down to having enough people interested enough to get the work done.
