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.
