A requirement for a SIG is also that it has a clear goal and a start and =
end date. distutils-sig's goal is the distutils module. And the "end =
date" requirements seems to be completely ignored anymore so arguing =
strict adherence to the rules seems to be a wash.

I suggested packaging-sig because discussion jumps back and forth =
between distutils-sig and catalog-sig and neither name nor stated goal =
really reflected what the sig was actually about which was packaging in =
python in general. I also suggested packaging because it matched the =
other current sigs which are generic topics and not about a single =
module. But whatever, I hate the pointless duplication and just want to =
kill the overlap.
