I’ve been asking folks about action items and moving notes to more permanent threads/issues. Followup threads:

- [external dependencies](https://discuss.python.org/t/drawing-a-line-to-the-scope-of-python-packaging/883/88)
- [editable installs](https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/256#issuecomment-504790004)
- [metadata strictness](https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/264)
- [`/src` layout](https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/issues/320#issuecomment-495990983) (thanks @pradyunsg for summarizing notes here!)
- [storage of requested/installed extras](https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/215#issuecomment-504569821)

Briefly discussed: @scopatz’s proposal on [a mechanism to upload wheels for other packages](https://discuss.python.org/t/packaging-mini-summit-pycon-us-2019-topic-suggestions/1534/26) (am following up to figure out where that discussion will happen).

And there were a few other discussion items where the actions are now already done (e.g., documenting BDFL delegation).
