One thing that /would/ be helpful though is the ability to list all the resources under a specific package path. This is (I think) one use case that pkg_resource fails to support and it's the one place that I've had to
drop down to file system introspection.

Think: the package-y flavor of os.listdir(os.path.dirname(package.__file__))

Good idea. Can I suggest that API this takes a glob-style pattern? (Or
to be fully general, a list of patterns and a list of exclusion
patterns.)

Good idea. Thinking back on my typical use cases, a glob style pattern would be enough. Usually I'm asking "give me all the .py files in this package" or "I'm looking for the .txt files in this path".
