I agree this is probably a good idea. In the bind10.py file you can see
this comment, which is related to this issue:

    # TODO: set process name, perhaps by:
    #       http://code.google.com/p/procname/
    #       http://github.com/lericson/procname/

The solution you mention is better as it is cross-platform, and the ones
I found only support Linux and OS X.

Can you make a ticket for this please?

We would need all BIND 10 processes to use this, but that's a trivial
policy & changes to implement it.
