[Distutils] PyPA Announcements & Twitter

[Marcus Smith]

+1 to a pypa-announce list.
I personally care more about the list than twitter.
at this point, probably need to post the idea to pypa-dev, and get a few
+1's there, and get someone to agree to execute on the idea.
there's a few people there that don't monitor distutils-sig
