Comment (by coreymckrill):

 I think this is a good idea. Here are some suggestions for the patch:

 * When I was looking at the patch in the context of the whole file, I
 noticed some legacy code that was restricting the `track` parameter for
 the speakers shortcode to a particular site. I removed the restriction,
 and also added some sanitization for it in r5545. I recommend you do some
 similar sanitizing for the `group` parameter, since it is also a comma
 separated list of term slugs.
 * Also, I think the `tax_query` is in the wrong place. Your patch adds it
 to the args for a query of sessions, which happens before the query that
 gets the speakers. Since this is for a taxonomy that applies to speakers,
 I suspect `tax_query` should be included in the args for that query
 instead.
 * I can imagine speaker groups being useful for other contexts outside of
 the shortcode. With this in mind, I think the taxonomy should probably be
 included in REST API responses. Take a look at the register parameters for
 the `wcb_sponsor_level` taxonomy for an example.
 * `group` is a very generic term. Despite the fact that the organizer
 teams taxonomy also uses the extremely generic `team` for its `rewrite`
 and `query_var`, I think we should namespace `group` at least a little
 bit. How about `speaker_group` instead?
