(Hope it's okay that I added the list back to the CC)

This is an interesting point, I think we can still encourage people to
form their own groups; but we will need volunteers with more experience
to assist them and keep an eye on things. 

We could follow some sort of mentoring system? Where any new group gets
assigned a mentor. Similar to what Debian tries to do for new
developers. Or we could just rely on a team of wiki editors.

But I think above all LP has to be agile and a bit chaotic, in order for
the bar to participation to be low enough that people will actually do
it. So I don't want to impose a requirement that an existing group
member needs to be involved in any new group.

Plus, a lot of our first batch of groups are going to be
existing/established groups that want to change to become LP groups.
