thanks

I'm not immediately convinced that it would be any less surprising in general 
for sudoedit to create the file with gid 0 than with the gid of the current 
user.  Particularly since the -u option can be used to pick a user other than
root to run sudoedit as.  On many Debian systems, the default is for each user
to have a group with the same numeric id as their uid, but this is by no means
guaranteed, so it could be just as surprising to set the gid equal to the uid.

I'm open to discussion about this, but for now I think the current behavior is
as good as any, and am going to change this to wishlist and tag it wontfix.
