Ah, but if you haven't figured it out yet, there pretty much are no such
thing as 'code4lib
The price of admission to that event is a
talk proposal, and while perhaps obviously, not everyone speaks, it
does set a boundary.
It might be tough to find folks to serve as gatekeepers, but maybe we

both before registration opens. I'm sure it's difficult to coordinate
