In the Debian Games team we have been working on this and are making a
small amount of progress.
In particular we are having semi-regular meetings, the most recent
ones have all been organised by new team members. Our meetings
procedures are documented here, I would encourage other teams to take
a look and adopt the parts that make sense:

We are also hoping to start some work parties soon:

I definitely agree that we need to do more and that this is a general
problem in Debian that needs work.
