[issue33069] Maintainer information discarded when writing PKG-INFO

@ncoghlan Yes, setuptools is affected. I've reported it there as well: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1288

I have patches for both distutils and setuptools prepared. The distutils patch is more controversial because this is apparently the documented behavior of PEP 314's Metadata Version 1.1, and distutils doesn't really have support for any of the *other* features of Version 1.2. You can see the concern (mostly on my side, frankly) on the PR, GH PR #6106.
