This adds a new specifications section, with the following goals:

  • document how PyPA currently uses the PEP process
  • provide a concise list of active specs and de facto standards
  • lay the foundation for eventually changing the way we use the
    PEP process to have the text of the active specs live here under
    stable URLs, while the PEPs are used to argue for changes to
    the specifications (similar to the way python-dev uses PEPs to
    argue for changes to the CPython reference implementation)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Version numbering requirements and the semantics for specifying comparisons
between versions are definined :pep:`440`.

Rejecting this one, as after reflecting on it a bit more, I'd like to just have the process aspects here on pypa.io, and the specifications themselves on packaging.python.org.
