I was hoping someone might have a good argument the other way. :)

Yes, I can see some neatness in having a delegation for a clearer
task, and some advantage in then being able to more easily include
those who don't want to work on DebConf heavily over a long period,
but following the view above does seem to work elsewhere in Debian.
There's then still a question of whether there's a separate delegation
for each DebConf, or an ongoing one. While I can see advantages in
separation there too, in practice a lot of the 'global' DebConf work
is mixed across years -- e.g. getting the report out for one DebConf
is useful mostly to the next -- so I'd again suspect a single
delegation makes more sense.
