Yep, this is one of the points.

Hm. What was the solution? I remember, at least for me it was mainly a
clarification of the workflow, as Rhalina wrote below.

And this should be documented prominently - the workflow of event
organization. In my view it should be the following:
- If you find an event in which Debien could possibly take part, mail to
debian-events-<region>.
- If you want to organize an event create a wiki page for it (documentation
how to do that should be linked from here) and send mail to
debian-events-<region> that you have done so. If you need more help state
that in mail and wiki.
- if you have enough help send mail to events_at_d.o. with the wikilink and
information about the event
