@jack-berg, based on the comments at a PR of yours about spec sponsors, do you think we need an extra point here about SIGs that are being formed?
I don't think so actually. There's an entry in the set of possible contributions which describes SIG work as contributions:
Contributing to SIGs, subprojects, or community discussions (e.g. meetings, chat, email, and discussion forums)
I think this means that SIG work counts towards contributions from the perspective of being a spec sponsor.

Just as a note on that: while we have this written down, we still make use of CNCF DevStats to figure out if someone is a "member of standing" for example, that's why I am a big fan of the end user, mainframe and security SIG to have their own repositories to put down some of their work, as it is tracked through DevStats.
This updates the membership requirements to reflect that we have SIGs who express their contributions to the community outside of GitHub, and especially by organizing activities.
I think there are other parts of that document that require refinement but this is a starting point
