I can’t speak for others (also not really sure what “we” should include here…), but I
have a couple of interactions with the author on Twitter. I can’t recall whether I invited
him to join distutils-sig specifically, but I would understand if he was reluctant to do so
even if I did. The mailing list could be a bit intimidating unless you have a good topic to
join, especially for someone not with an English-speaking background (I am talking from
experience here).

Overall I could see it be a good idea to invite him to join the mailing list, and/or provide
inputs on this particular discussion. Would you be interested in doing this?

So at the Python core sprint a few weeks ago, I dragged some
interested parties [4] into a room with a whiteboard [5], and we made
a start at it. And now I'm writing it up to share with you all.

Just curious: Have we directly engaged the author of Poetry to see if he is interested in participating in these discussions?

I ask partly just as an interested observer, partly because I see that Pipenv tends to dominate these discussions, and partly because I find Poetry more appealing than Pipenv and -- not being a packaging expert -- I want to see it discussed in more depth by the experts here.
