To sum up: I think it would be a good idea.
I'm coming around to this point of view as well. import-sig, for
example, is a very low traffic SIG, but I think it serves three key
useful purposes:
- it clearly indicates that import is a specialist topic with
additional considerations to take into account that may not be obvious
to developers touching the import system for the first time
- it provides a forum to collaboratively craft explanations of
proposed changes that should make sense to folks that *aren't*
specialists
- anyone that wants to become an "import system expert" can join the
SIG and learn from the intermittent discussions of proposed changes
[...]
As far as names go, my vote would be for "paranoia-sig" - it nicely
avoids any risk of folks submitting security bugs there instead of to
the PSRT, and "We're professionally paranoid, so you don't need to be"
is an apt description of good security sensitive API design in a
general purpose language like Python :)
Heh. I like it. If no one comes up with any other names I'll get the
SIG requested mid-week-ish.
