Are you suggesting that the maintainer of distutils should take over maintenance of clang, in order to make clang a part of distutils? Do the current maintainers of clang get a say in this?

If that's not what you mean, perhaps what you mean isn't quite so self-explanatory as you think. In what sense should clang be added to distutils? gcc isn't currently part of distutils. It's an external dependency, not an internal component.
