This is incorrect. Fedora-perl-devel list was formed before the concept 
of SIG's were in place. Fedora music list is not related to the music 
SIG but was originally created to coordinate on the merge of Planet 
CCRMA into Fedora Extras. Fedora-security list is not a Extras SIG list 
either. It deals with security issues not packaging.

SIG's were originally created to coordinate on packaging. Mentors,fr or 
Women dont fit into that description at all.

I periodically watch discussions at the fedora-games list and my 
opinions is that those topics would benefit from being discussed in 
fedora-devel or fedora-maintainers list with more of the community 
participating. Menu organization of games for example is a topic of 
interest to not just people packaging games but also folks who care 
about usability or those who want to make sure that menus follow the 
relevant specs.
