Hi,

Shouldn't it be documented that the keyword argument "license_file" is 
supported as an agrument in setup()?  It's currently not listed in the 
section
https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#new-and-changed-setup-keywords

Writing setup(..., license_file="LICENSE.txt", ...) has actually the 
same effect as adding "license_file" to the metadata section of 
setup.cfg. Such an elementary functionality as adding a license_file to 
a package should be considered to be a standard functionality of 
setup(), that should be properly documented. Right now, the users get's 
the impression, that it's necessary to use a setup.cfg file, if they 
want to use the license_file property.

Regards,
Johannes
