This prompted me to go and look at the metadata PEPs. I thought the URL
fields were only 'Home-Page' and 'Download-URL', but in fact PEP 345
added a multi-use 'Project-URL' field:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/#project-url-multiple-use

I quite like this idea - rather than prescribing a couple of specific
kinds of URL, it lets the project author list as many as make sense.
Perhaps we should recommend a set of common labels for URLs in this
field, e.g. 'Documentation', 'Bug tracker', 'Source repository'.
This does leave open the question of which one to put in the mandatory
'Home-Page' field (I usually use the address of the repo), and whether
to duplicate it in a 'Project-URL'.
