Comment:

 Anyone that stumbles into this ticket, please consider trying out my User
 Groups plugin:

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-groups/

 I agree with Dion, that this type of functionality does not have a good
 home inside of the greater WordPress project. I can't imagine installing
 WordPress and immediately needing to configure groups of users for any
 post, page, or media publishing purpose.

 BuddyPress also comes with User Group functionality, which is much more
 inline with why it may be desirable for users to be grouped, or group
 themselves.

 At the risk of playing the open/close game, I'm going to re-close this
 ticket, and make a motion that it only be reopened by a team lead when
 enough healthy discussion has occurred. Until then, there are reliable
 alternatives that hug very closely to WordPress core.

 Note also that the "maybelater" resolution is, I think, a proper
 designation for this ticket. It's currently a no-go, people are actively
 building plugins to provide this functionality, and maybe later when
 WordPress is bursting at the seams without this feature, we can reopen it,
 survey the landscape, and merge something in. (And we can keep this issue
 out of other milestones until then.)
