The group The Guide does group spotlights as well as interviews of notable Community members and group leaders. This is done in a group setting by a dedicated bunch of volunteer Community members, and we've been doing it for years.
Our membership is not huge due to the desire of the group's founders' desire not to advertise aggressively, but we have lots of notable Community members and a couple of Bungie staff/former staff in the group. The interviews/group reviews are pretty professional in my opinion -- they go through a pretty exhaustive editing process and are well-organized and well-written.
Gods Prophet and I run The Guide, but with the ARG getting huge and GP being busy, there hasn't been much activity lately. I understand the desire, however, to have groups being placed in the public spotlight -- it's good for both the group itself and the Community.
I would never repost in our group reviews or interviews in the public forums without the express permission of the group's leaders or the interviewee, as well as consent from the moderators and/or web team. But it's certainly a thought -- people want recognition for the time that they put into this Community and many of them deserve it. The old 7th Column Council was a good idea that simply failed in its execution, but if a group like that existed and were well-run and well-organized (there would have to be extensive measures in place to prevent massive potential for elitism and other potential problems), perhaps it could take on doing the Community Spotlight and Group Spotlights in a professional, well-organized manner that could be brought into the public eye with the consent and help of the Bungie web team
