Another module I would like to move away from Distutils is "archive_util". It contains helpers to build archives, whether they are zip or tar files. I propose to move those useful functions into shutil, as this seems the most logical place.
Are these functions portable? Do they rely on external programs?
I also propose to maintain this "shutil" module for now on (no one is declared as a maintainer in maintainers.rst) since Distutils will become a heavy user of its functions.
It's ok for me. Regards Antoine.
