Most people either hand-write a setup.py, or crib one from someone else. Either way, this usually results in not using the most recent features that can make the job of a distro easier, such as putting the static parts in setup.cfg.

This is a kind of linter for packaging, that can suggest changes to your configuration in {setup.py, setup.cfg, pyproject.toml} for easier consumption by others.

A related project is honesty, whose job it is to make sure that your bdists appear built from the same revision with the same contents as your sdists are.
