That's a good point actually... why *isn't* there a pydotorg-wiki-sig?
(Aside from the obvious point of nobody ever asking for one).

I must admit, that the various things I've thrown on there myself have
been pretty much fire-and-forget. Without anyone that feels like they
collectively "own" the wiki, the much needed pruning never happens.

With an admin team behind it, you can also make more use of ACLs to
flag certain parts of the wiki as "official" by making them only
editable by certain people (e.g. only devs, only the triage team, only
the wiki admins). But keeping those user lists up to date is itself
something that requires a strong wiki admin team.

Cheers,
Nick.
