It's an interesting cross-over - the pip/pypi integration is definitely
distutils-sig's domain, managing the CPython MSI packages is more
python-dev.

However, distutils-sig has a naturally higher proportion of folks
interested in the general problem of software distribution (whether with
Python specific tools or platform native ones). It's also the home of
packaging.python.org maintenance, and as the Python ecosystem provider for
OneGet becomes usable, it should likely be covered somewhere in there
(perhaps in
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/deployment.html#os-packaging-installers
although that section is currently still just a stub)

Cheers,
Nick.
