There's an effort currently underway to significantly improve the getting started tutorials on packaging.python.org, but it's unfortunately going to be a long time before we can retire the legacy docs completely - while parts of them have aged badly (and are entirely superseded by packaging.python.org), other parts unfortunately aren't covered anywhere else yet :( Even once the new docs are in place, getting them to the top of search of results ahead of archived material that may be years out of date is likely to still be a challenge - for example, even considering just the legacy distutils docs, the "3.1" and "2" docs appear in the results at https://www.google.com/search?q=registering+with+the+package+index+site%3Apython.org&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8, but the latest "3" docs don't.
