Expedition caving is one of no doubt many that demand way more time
than Debconf, and important organisation stuff gets done there too.
I spent 5 weeks/yr away from 1988-1993. These days I manage about 2

I bet there are plenty of other examples.
I think you seriously underestimate the 'hobby' drive.
