I'm glad you mentioned this. An "informal group" "working quietly and effectively" seems to lack accountability and public transparency. Debian is about openness. We have a strong commitment to justice and democracy in all that we do. If your goals are good, the perception of secrecy will do much to hinder them, and cast your motives in poor and base terms in the minds of onlookers. A perception of secret doings will cast a cloud of mistrust over Debian as a whole. Conversely, favorable public advertisement and participation can only help you prosper in your objectives, by supporting you with the assent of the entire body of Debian.
