This seems similar to one of the responsibilities of Fedora's "FESCo"
("Fedora Engineering Steering Committee") as part of our Change process.
(See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_policy/)

I think it'd be nice to share structure and concepts (if not outright
process) as much as possible in areas like this -- it avoids duplicating
work, makes it easier for people working in both projects, and can help
actual work move back and forth as appropriate.

I can imagine in some cases the correct venue for a feature will be : get
this upstream in Fedora first. Or maybe there will be some changes proposed
in Fedora where the answer will be the reverse. Either way, a shared
approach on either side would be nice.


Thus ends the not-bikeshedding part of this message. The bikeshedding part
is: I wonder if "SIG" is the right name / structure for this group? SIGs
generally are focused on more specific areas, right, and this is more broad.
So, where I'm going with this is... "CentOS Stream Feature Steering
Committee"?
