where was this proposed?

It's an utility for POSIX compliance as indicated.  Are you seriously
suggesting we should have a discussion for every change towards POSIX
compliance?

As a purely personal remark, I'm glad we finally have newgrp(1), as I've
missed it on a couple occasions.


I don't really care about newgrp, I was thinking more along the lines of
"is there a mailing list where such things are discussed that I don't
follow?" -- I only follow the ones I thought are "active"...
