add a command called /ListRecentGroups or something like that. It would basically just keep a log of the last 30 people that you had grouped with that are not in your friends list. This way when a group disbands because of a large crash, or you just can't remember "that guy's name" you can go back and list them.

NOTE: Not a part of the Cosmos team.

The information this feature would require (basically, a list of X names) can not currently be stored in the space available for CVars, not without eating up too much space in the CVars. As a Cosmos Module, however, it could be done (since the developers of Cosmos is very conscious about how much space they use, since the end user might want to use some Modules of their own, thus needing CVar space).

Also, there is currently an issue with Cosmos and saving CVars (basically, only the first CVar is saved, and last I heard, AlexanderYoshi (http://forums.wowmods.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4) didn't know why). Since - as you stated - the most use of a feature such as this would be after a crash (where, I might add, CVars normally don't get saved, either), if the list would be non-persistent across gaming sessions, much of the use of this feature would be removed (IMHO).
