Well, the TODO comment at
https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/blob/55230d8/warehouse/forklift/legacy.py#L341-L343
expresses an interest in seeing Warehouse's (the current PyPI
implementation) metadata validation code move to the
https://pypi.org/project/packaging/ library, which should be clear
to progress now that https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0459/
(which supplanted the withdrawn PEP 426 mentioned in the TODO) has
been finalized. Someone still needs to do that work, and then update
`twine check` to use it (probably won't be me either, unless I
somehow grow some extra spare time). This would be an awesome
project for *someone* interested in making new inroads in the Python
packaging community.
