[issue33069] Maintainer information discarded when writing PKG-INFO

Thanks for the report and pull request. Do you happen to know if setuptools is also affected?

If yes, the problem will need to be reported & fixed there as well (otherwise the maintainer metadata will still be missing for many publishers), if no, then using it instead of plain distutils is a potential workaround in advance of the distutils fix rolling it.
