There’s been a lot of great discussion here, and I’m going to try to find time 
to go through these, though I wanted to make something explicit that I think 
maybe I was leaving implicit, and I thought should be made explicit:

Depending on how vital a particular bit of functionality is to pip, we’re 
likely going to want most libraries that are pulling functionality out of pip 
to live under the PyPA banner, and ideally should be setup in a way that 
existing pip contributors can work on them as well. While conceptually these 
are becoming distinct entities, for end users they’re going to be part of the 
nebulous thing that is pip, and changes and for “core” bits, pip wouldn’t want 
to lose the ability to work on these bits of functionality directly.

Obviously there is some stuff that isn’t “core” to what pip does, that we’re 
generally fine with being owned in a way that we aren’t part owners of. For 
instance we use requests, CacheControl, etc. The key difference there is that 
these are all things that aren’t really specific to pip’s core functionality 
(even though we may use them in implementing that) and so we don’t need to care 
too much about their implementation one way or another.

We’re also probably going to need/want to figure out some sort of shared 
requirements for things like “when do we drop support for a version of Python 
in xyzlib” and such like that.
