Packaging

User Feedback User feedback about the packaging tooling such as information from a UX review, user surveys, and feedback about specific user workflows. Standards Standards discussions, ala PEPs as well as some proposals/grand ideas for changes to how things are done. Announcements Announcements about projects. This is releases for “major” projects (mainly pip releases and PyPI feature deployments), as well as one-off announcements for new projects/tools. Coordination Coordination discussions. This is mechanical stuff that involves co-ordinating multi-project effort, or stuff like the governance story about how we do those things.
