I agree as well (with both ;-) )

Possibly IRC meetings (as far as I know Perl team is doing so) might be
some first step.

I'd also recommend the "advent bug squashing party" done by the Debian

everybody tries to squash a personal bug of the day (no matter who is
Uploader of the package).

Kind regards
