Yes, I think it would make a lot of sense...

What defines those groups is not the software bits that they produce, 
but their overall goals (getting OpenStack to run on Windows, supporting 
PowerVM technology in OpenStack). The repositories that they maintain is 
just a means toward this larger end, and a lot of their work is actually 
done within existing repositories from other project teams.

The SIG model seems therefore a better fit than the "Project team" model 
which is more centered around a specific component and/or a set of 
repositories.
