I think this (PEP 291) should be referenced in the header of the file, since it would help inform various decisions. What it lists is something different from what maintainers.txt is proposed to list, since the PEP is talking about the maintenance of the non-stdlib versions of those modules. (Granted, that's relevant for the maintenance of the stdlib version, but not conclusive.)
- a list of externally maintained packages
Antoine should hate this one (PEP 360) :) And it is, essentially, a deprecated PEP. (Which opens the question of what we should do about the modules it lists...though apparently we can now remove optik/optparse from it.)
(some of these info are a bit outdated though)
Indeed. --David
