Just an FYI, I’m going to ask the discuss.python.org admins to add a Packaging category to that discourse instance for the discussion of packaging in Python, basically as a sister discussion location to distutils-sig. I plan to primarily participate and centralize my own personal discussions there, although others are free to continue to discuss wherever they would like (although I think it would be great if folks would all jump over there as well!).

I’m not going to request any sub categories at this time, both because I don’t think our traffic is high enough to warrant it, and also because I think that tagging will be a more useful mechanism for us since we can tag things with relevant projects or whatever (or not tag things at all) and topics can have multiple tags.
