I don't think I understand your reply. Perhaps you're not familiar with concepts like sprints, or BSPs (Bug Squashing Parties). I never claimed that I was looking to replace the Debian mailing lists. My intention is to foster the development of Debian by gathering people who are interested in doing so. I know a bunch of fellow developers who have active communities in their countries, and this is a nice way to spread knowledge about the system. Anyway, I honestly don't think I need to keep justifying the reasons here. I don't quite understand the "silent opposition" to the idea, but then again, GTALUG is a completely different group.
