Yep, that's part of the PEP review process - to indicate this, use the
same BDFL-Delegate and Discussions-To values as are in PEP 503.

In particular, it would be ideal if they could generate it themselves
from the already mirrored PEP 503 data, rather than having to make
additional API calls to the main PyPI server.

Discussion of future enhancements doesn't really belong in an
Informational PEP. Instead, I've filed
https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/102 as a common
place for folks to put notes about what they may want to see in a
possible future API.

Cheers,
Nick.
