Hello,
The Packaging Working Group maintains a list of Packaging tool improvements that are looking for funding. This list has not been updated recently and is tilted towards PyPI.
We are looking to update this list with new ideas. If you have an idea that is fairly popular within the community and can be delivered quickly with funding, please submit a PR.
This list is open to ideas from all packaging tools. If you need help scoping an idea, please get in touch with me.
Regards,
Shamika
