The Python packaging world now has a formal
governance council, of the form described in PEP˙772 ("Packaging
Council governance process"), which was approved
by the steering council on April˙16.  It has been over a year
since the PEP was first proposed in February˙2025 and it has undergone
lengthy discussions in multiple postings to the Python discussion forum.  The
packaging council will have "broad authority over packaging standards,
tools, and implementations"; it will consist of five members who will
be elected in a vote that is likely to come in June-after PyCon US 2026 is held mid-May.
