The PEP looks good, Richard. Some suggestions & questions:
> Title: Distutils Enhancements
Too generic IMO. How about "Package Index and Metadata for Distutils"?
> The server should be hosted in the python.org domain,
What server? No server mentioned before this. Instead of "The
server", perhaps "A package metadata server"?
> hopefully just one command-line command for more regular users.
"hopefully just a one-line command for most users", perhaps?
> The original PEP which proposed such a system
"PEP xxx, the original PEP which proposed such a system"
> The web interface implements the following commands/interfaces:
For readability, I suggest inserting blank lines between definition
list items. (They blob together now.)
> A demonstration will be available at:

Is it up now? I wasn't able to access it. When will it be available?
Couldn't it be hosted on a permanent basis on sf.net (with **TEST**
prominently displayed, of course)? The previous one at
http://mechanicalcat.net:8081/ is not accessible either.
> two of whom used the register command bo submit package information.
^^
"bo" should be "to".
