Not necessarily true.

Nobody is preventing you from working with local user groups. You
don't need a program to tell you what to do.

You should always try to re-use existing mailing lists, which Fedora
has enough in number, or use the local user group mailing list for
discussion.

IMO, it is an Ambassadors' responsibility to participate in user group
mailing lists, providing support and assistance, and the work should
reflect on itself, rather than a need to put a logo for certification
or branding.
