Will do.

I just followed the existing behavior. I'm open to changing it. :)

Okay, it was there to help me debugging the code. Will change.

The group descriptor misses leader-only groups intentionally. In that
case I wanted to skip those events with nr == 0.

Right, will do.

Yes, I thought it's a in-memory struct for a session, so a couple of
holes doesn't matter much. So I just wanted to keep the struct in a
consistent and straight-forward way.

Great!
