Did you try the "Sponsor" link in pypi.org ? It will take you there: https://pypi.org/sponsor/

They should give that to the meson author instead. He knows what he's doing and has a clue about C/C++.

Really, the whole distutils is a fancy way to produce a simple zip archive and put it in a well know location in site-packages.

meson has the build figured out, it's just a way of installing that archive with a bit of metadata.
