Are you talking about the pyproject.toml file that emerged in the python
ecosystem?  I think it is possible to move some metadata from setup.py
to this file and also specify the minimum requirement for setuptools.
That could free the code of the distutils references.

If that is desired I can try to prepare a patch and send it to the list.

Also +1 from me. I am speaking on behalf of alot
(https://github.com/pazz/alot), a mail user agent that uses the gpg
python bindings.  We would greatly profit from an updated PyPI package.
