The only way it could be added is in source form; that's essential for
free software like Python. So, if it's not suitable for adding to Python
in source form, it's not suitable for adding to Python.

You omit the important part: adding a new thing to Python *so long as it
doesn't depend on anything outside Python*.

I think this would be best. The functionality you often discuss around
this tool would be best implemented independently of any UI. It would,
in fact, be best to work with the team performing ongoing active
standardisation of distutils functionality.
