Description

It's been recently adopted by the PyPA and provides validation capabilities that might be useful to us: https://github.com/pypa/pyproject-metadata. My understanding is that it's going to be a transitive dep regardless so we might as well make use of it too.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the pyproject metadata library and evaluate its potential integration into pip tools for validating pyproject.toml metadata. Compare its validation capabilities with pip tools' current approach and determine if it simplifies code or adds value.
