Some time ago, I started the process [1] of adjusting how distutils-sig uses the PEP process so that the reference specifications will live on packaging.python.org, and we use the PEP process to manage *changes* to those specifications, rather than serving as the specifications themselves (that is, adopting a process closer to the URL-centric way the Python language reference is managed, rather than using the RFCstyle PEP-number-centric model the way we do now).
I'm happy to report that Dustin Ingram has started making some progress on this change, with https://packaging.python.org/specifications/ now broken out into a set of distinct subpages with appropriate URLs, and https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/ now coversing *all* the fields that can appear in PKG-INFO and METADATA files, not just the ones that are post-1.2 additions.
