[New-bugs-announce] [issue12891] Clean up traces of manifest template in packaging

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

With distutils2/packaging, extra files to be included in sdists are defined in setup.cfg, no more in a manifest template.  However, the Manifest class and the sdist command still have code to deal with manifest templates.  I propose to remove it.
