This would be really nice.
It's very common (in my experience the majority of cases) for the administrators to not understand why someone is trying to join a group. It may be: they do have a good reason but that particular admin is not aware of it (eg there was a previous conversation on irc), or they're randomly confused and want Ubuntu CDs, or they want to show support for the group (but cannot technically contribute) or they want to download software from a PPA. Asking for a rationale at request time would save a round trip and would not be a substantial burden.
I'd suggest this should be mandatory for moderated groups, but not for open groups.
