I took a first stab at it, and... surprise, surprise, there were a few

biggest unexpected result is that numpy.f2py would need to also be a
toplevel package. I did get the refactor cross-compiled and started on
scipy, but there's a few more issues that will have to be resolved on
the scipy side.
I posted a detailed set of notes on the issue (#17620) and made a draft
PR with my initial results (#17632) if you want to get a sense for how
invasive this is (or isn't depending on your point of view).

Is there a way to do this without modifying SciPy? That would reassure
me that this change will not break other peoples' workflow. It is hard
to believe that only SciPy uses numpy.distutils. If the changes break
backward compatibility, they need to be done like any other deprecation:
warn for 4 releases (two years) before actually breaking workflows.
