Hi everyone,

since a while now setuptools has supported putting most of the metadata
into setup.cfg

see
https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#configuring-setup-using-setup-cfg-files

for demonstrative purposes i experimented with it in
https://github.com/pytest-dev/apipkg/pull/2

in terms of maintenance i def prefer the modern format as its more static
however it does introduce a requirement on a reasonably recent
setuptools (30.3.0)

so it may create trouble for from source installs on enterprise distros,
however wheel based installs are not affected
