If the project is hosted on something like github, I'd suggest a setup.py to upstream. And in fact, I'd suggest one using PBR, which is a wonderful tool, if you didn't know it. Basically, everything lives in the setup.cfg in a declarative way, and there's no code to write, PBR does everything for you. There's more than 100 examples of use (and abuse) of PBR in the OpenStack world (github.com/openstack). Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
