PEP 770: Improving measurability of Python packages with Software Bill-of-Materials

Because it seems that the last point is still the naming of the table (and I haven’t seen any +1s on comments), I’ll throw this poll together to see where folks are on the name. The last option is “postpone”, meaning I’ll refactor PEP 770 specifically to remove the creation of the new table (while maintaining the reservation of all .dist-info directories and the .dist-info/sboms directory).

  • additional-metadata
  • additional-files
  • dist-info.files
  • metadata-files
  • Something else (comment)
  • Postpone to a separate PEP

I’ll check back in a few days what the results are and if there’s still no clear winner then I’ll proceed down the “postpone” route to keep the ball moving on this PEP, because I think everything else in the PEP is good to go and is waiting for provisional status to begin merging pull requests to projects.
