[New-bugs-announce] [issue33069] Maintainer information discarded when writing PKG-INFO

[Paul Ganssle]

New submission from Paul Ganssle <p.ganssle at gmail.com>:

This is basically the same as issue 962772, as there seems to have been a regression. The current version of distutils discards author= metadata if maintainer= is present, even though PEP 345 has added the Maintainer: and Maintainer-Email: metadata fields.

I think that the way forward is to have write_pkg_info generate separate Maintainer: and Maintainer-Email: fields.
