There is an open discussion whether to use TUF or GPG. If we go with GPG, then 
we wlll discuss what to do, given that:

1) for users, the problem is not on python-dev, but rather on the maintainers 
of package managers (pip, easy_install) that need to decide how to ship/install 
GPG to verify signatures.
2) for maintainers, I don't see a strong need to ship it with distutils within 
Python, as long as we have clear documentation on how to install it. But this 
is open for discussion of course.
