Chris Jerdonek added the comment:
FYI, the fix for issue 16403 adds I believe the first mention of PKG-INFO to
the docs (as an aside when discussing the maintainer field). However, a
description of PKG-INFO, etc. should still be added somewhere.

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:
Currently, the documentation makes no mention of the PKG-INFO file.
It would be useful if the documentation mentioned what this file is and how it

be covered somewhere in the
Chris Jerdonek added the comment:
PEP 345 can also be linked to (Metadata version 1.2).
