Hello,
The pull request to the bips repository for Signet has stalled, as the
maintainer isn't sure Signet should have a BIP at all, i.e. "is Signet
Bitcoin?".
My argument is that Signet is indeed Bitcoin and should have a BIP, as
this facilitates the interoperability between different software in
the Bitcoin space.
Feedback welcome, here or on the pull request itself:

I would also like to agree that Signet should be a BIP.
Problem: Testnet is unreliable. *Testnet is used often for development of
Bitcoin*.
Proposal: To improve the dev environment for Bitcoin, let's create a new
kind of testnet that is more reliable.
I would also like to hear the logic behind "Testnet is Bitcoin" but "Signet
is not Bitcoin"... both are not 100% compatible with mainnet consensus
processes.

Indeed, Signet is no less (or more) Bitcoin than a seed format or BIP 32. It’s “not Bitcoin” but it’s certainly “interoperability for how to build good testing for Bitcoin”.
