Anyway, just an idea I had based on my flit experience yesterday plus a tweet sent to me. (And if PyPI already supports this somehow then Thomas should brace for the feature request from me 😉.)
This prompted me to go and look at the metadata PEPs. I thought the URL fields were only 'Home-Page' and 'Download-URL', but in fact PEP 345 added a multi-use 'Project-URL' field:
I quite like this idea - rather than prescribing a couple of specific kinds of URL, it lets the project author list as many as make sense. Perhaps we should recommend a set of common labels for URLs in this field, e.g. 'Documentation', 'Bug tracker', 'Source repository'.
This does leave open the question of which one to put in the mandatory 'Home-Page' field (I usually use the address of the repo), and whether to duplicate it in a 'Project-URL'.
