I was under the impression that a subproject needed some sort of
approval but a SIG was much more free-form. I was unable to find
anything useful on the wiki to confirm or deny this, though.
You are correct, I re-read the "Defining projects" page [1] and realized
I was wrong. Quote:
It is not necessary, however, for contributors to receive the
approval
of any existing body to form a SIG. Some ideas may not even involve
support from existing Fedora Project bodies. The Fedora Project Board
retains the right, however, to provide oversight over any SIG if
necessary, to appoint a body to that end, or to move a SIG under the
umbrella of an existing body. Such actions should rarely be necessary,
though, given a SIG with a well-defined mission and objectives.
