Research direction

The issue identifies pyproject.toml and gives the desired [project.urls] entries. Read the existing packaging metadata there, then check the built package metadata or PyPI JSON to confirm Homepage and Repository links are present and info.project_urls is no longer null.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The PyPI metadata for pluggy carries no project links:

  • https://pypi.org/project/pluggy/ shows no Homepage / Repository links
  • the JSON API returns info.project_urls: null and info.home_page: null
    (https://pypi.org/pypi/pluggy/json)

So the source repository is undiscoverable from package metadata alone.
Tools that map a distribution back to its repo, dependency dashboards,
supply-chain/source audits, dataset builders, end up guessing or dropping
the package.

If you're happy to, adding [project.urls] to the packaging metadata fixes
this. With setuptools in pyproject.toml:

[project.urls]
Homepage = "https://github.com/pytest-dev/pluggy"
Repository = "https://github.com/pytest-dev/pluggy"

Checked against the current release (1.6.0); the rest of the metadata looks
fine.

Thanks!
