Various things got in the way of finalising at least PEP 440, but as far as I am aware, it, 426 and 459 are basically done aside from updating the JSON schema specs and redoing the PyPI compatibility analysis.

The other thing they need is for people to read through from scratch, looking for inconsistencies and things that seem out of place, and reporting those as issues at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi-metadata-formats
