Comment:
What is the value of this package? PEP-517 still seems to be in flux. Pip seems to be the only viable builder and installer right now. The nascent "build" and "install" packages may eventually provide a lightweight alternative good for distribution packagers, but they aren't there yet. The build backends are currently so fragmented that it seems like every project that walks away from setuptools winds up choosing a different backend.

If this doesn't satisfy a dependency for something, I'm hesitant to pull it in when, for all we know, it will be *de facto* useless in a year.
