Making a Debian release happen involves coming to pretty good consensus
amongst a large number of people with essentially no fixed deadline whilst
a large meetup would require making a (hopefully limited) number of
executive or board-level decisions in terms of budgets/deadlines to appease
3rd parties that require them.
