I've set the wheels in motion. I just need a little help from the pydotorg volunteers (and some hits from the mailman cluebat). Richard On 30 March 2013 06:43, Donald Stufft <donald@stufft.io> wrote:

If we leave the main list the 'distutils-sig', and just announce that 'catalog-sig' is retired, folks who want to follow the new list just switch over. All the archives (mailman / gmane / etc.) stay valid, but the list goes into moderated mode.
Whoever has the power to do this, do it please.

distutils-sig it is. We're expanding the charter to "the distutils standard library module, the Python Package Index and associated interoperabilty standards", but that's a lot easier than forcing everyone to rewrite their mail filters.
Besides, it's gonna be a *long* time before the default build system in the standard library is anything other than distutils. Coupling the build system to the language release cycle has proven to be a *bad idea*, because the addition of new platform support needs to happen in a more timely fashion than language releases. The incorporation of pip bootstrapping into 3.4 will also make it a lot easier to recommend more readily upgraded alternatives.
Cheers, Nick.
