I believe the SBOMS for Python packages proposal by @sethmlarson is an existing, standards compliant (supports spdx), and more developed proposal to address software supply chain data in python packages:

- [SBOMs for Python packages project](https://discuss.python.org/t/sboms-for-python-packages-project/70261)
- [GitHub - psf/sboms-for-python-packages: Software Bill-of-Materials documents for Python packages](https://github.com/psf/sboms-for-python-packages)
- [Visualizing the Python package SBOM data flow](https://sethmlarson.dev/visualizing-the-python-package-sbom-data-flow)

In addition the proposal posted here is limited in that it is framed around setuptools not as a general mechanism for all build backends.
