I've addressed the PHP Foundation SIGs in a couple of other messages in 
this discussion, but I've just updated the RFC with a dedicated section:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/working_groups#php_foundation_special_interest_groups_sigs

Additionally, I've added a "Grant of Authority" section to the policy text:

https://github.com/php/policies/pull/35/changes/888d93b56c7c2fdd99acb0cec3a6a526a4f74b89

I hope this clarifies the distinction between PHP WGs and PHP Foundation 
SIGs. Let me know if I can help further clarify.

Cheers,
Ben
