How would this affect the notion of Groups?

In a positive way. ;)
If after every week sprint a group gets one contributor more, then the
chances of having a better next sprint will increase.
Following the proposal, we don't need formal MediaWiki groups start
turning the wheel. With Chris, Andre, Zeljko and Valerie we have enough
to push the cycles.
Of course each activity will need to have participants, and these
participants might be interested in staying in touch, discuss and plan
other tasks. This is where the groups might help to coordinate and
generate better week sprints.
I haven't been around long enough, but one problem we seem to have is
that even successful activities leave little heritage for future events.
Apart from the people continuously engaged e.g. through this list, it's
almost like we are starting from scratch every time. Hopefully the
groups will help bridging activities and growing continuously.
