Sorry for the late answer due to a busy last couple of weeks.

I agree that the Scientific WG is the canonical example of a SIG,
linking people from completely different backgrounds and experiences
around a specific use case.

I assume you want to use [scientific] as your subject prefix. Could you
add yourself to the SIG page at:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_SIGs

We might turn that into a more "official" site at one point but at the
moment that is where we list all current and incoming SIGs.
