I can’t speak for others (also not really sure what “we” should include here…), 
but I
have a couple of interactions with the author on Twitter. I can’t recall 
whether I invited
him to join distutils-sig specifically, but I would understand if he was 
reluctant to do so
even if I did. The mailing list could be a bit intimidating unless you have a 
good topic to
join, especially for someone not with an English-speaking background (I am 
talking from
experience here).

Overall I could see it be a good idea to invite him to join the mailing list, 
and/or provide
inputs on this particular discussion. Would you be interested in doing this?
