Are you the same person who proposed this yesterday on the Meta-SIG?
Anyway, I'll give you the same answer: a unified API would be an
excellent idea, but a SIG seems unnecessary.  There's already a
python-crypto list at egroups which could be used to coordinate work
on such a unified API (it's the second link for a Google search on
"python crypto"), and the main issue is probably developer time.
