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).
