I did this months ago, when doing PEP 405 venv development was getting
old fast because of the 2to3 delay:

because of the 2to3 delay:
All the tests pass whenever I merge upstream changes, but I'm not sure how
much
confidence the maintainers have about test coverage and whether all tests
passing
means enough for them to release into the wild.
if they did release it to the wild, then the decision get's passed to
virtualenv,
most of the pip tests default to using virtualenv with Setuptools, but
there are enough that use Distribute to smoke out issues.
most of the 2.x tests that is. all the 3.x tests end up using distribute.

running the pip test suite against distribute RCs before releasing would
be a good idea.
I'm happy to work with distribute people to make that happen.
granted, it's somewhat awkward, but I did this recently, before upgrading
distribute-0.6.34 into virtualenv.
it involves running pip's tests
