Hello

As suggested here, then discussed at Distutils-SIG,  I would like to
propose the addition of two more fields for the
upcoming Metadata 1.2 (PEP 345) that could be used at PyPI on projects pages.

"Repository-Browse-URL"
    A string containing the URL for the package's browsable
repository. It can be any url of the repository
    (trunk, branch, tags) as long as it can be browsed from a web browser.

  Example:
     http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk

"Bug-Tracker-URL"
  A string containing the URL for the package's bug tracker.

  Example:
     http://bugs.python.org/


Other fields were proposed, but were controversial.

The only controversial ones were Change-Log-URL and, at a push, Documentation-URL (although it was only you who even queried that ;-), so why have Repository-URL and Mailing-List-URL been abandoned?

None of these are mandatory, and I don't see what harm could be done. I *do* see a *lot* of good that could be done if all of the ones under discussion were added.

cheers,

Chris
