Actually, we can do this now.  The development version has default spacing that 
puts groups of staves closer together.  It looks maybe a bit too subtle to me, 
but pretty darn good.

The defaults are :
StaffGrouper
    between-staff-spacing . ((space . 9)(minimum-distance . 7)(padding . 1))
    after-last-staff-spacing . ((space . 10.5)(minimum-distance . 8)(padding . 
1)))
VerticalAxisGroup
    default-next-staff-spacing . ((space . 9)(minimum-distance . 8)(padding . 
1)))

In English :
Staves within a group are spaced 9 staff-lines apart (from centerline to 
centerline).
After the last staff in a group, the next staff is placed 10.5 staff-lines 
below (centerline-to-centerline).
After a staff that is not in a group (like percussion) the next staff is placed 
9 staff-lines below.
