As the team responsible for Distutils-extras states "Enables you to easily integrate gettext support, themed icons and scrollkeeper based documentation into Python's distutils". It can save the developer & packager plenty of time by largely automating some of the steps that are critical for a well-packaged project. For example, it automates the translation of appdata.xml and .desktop files. It integrates with both setuptools and distutils.
Distutils-extra is widely used and is in the repositories of all major Linux distributions, and is actively maintained.
Unfortunately distutils-extra's primary documentation is found in its source code, with only a modest README and even smaller FAQ, and no real up-to-date documentation outside of its repository.

If anyone wants to work on this issue: you would find some basic information about distutils-extra (links to source code, issue tracker, and documentation), and write a sentence or two summarizing what it is and why it might be used. Then you would look at https://packaging.python.org/key_projects/#non-pypa-projects , which you edit using the file source/key_projects.rst, and add an entry in the Non-PyPA Projects section.
Distutils-extra is useful for developers who wish to deploy their applications or libraries on Linux.
