That's why I was thinking to get people from those groups, (e.g., debian-installer, python, etc) to be the session chairs, not one of the usual suspects from the debconf-team organization. Of course, they could overlap, but it could be a way to get more people involved for future years... (and, if no one from a team stepped up, I wouldn't think we should step up ourselves and manage it for them, just group them with independent talks) > Just as a final remark: Time.

That's a good point... the all-independent system wouldn't have had too many instances where a person had to go to back to back talks for a whole half-day.
