Telemetry is an important part of our scope policy. It sets the stage to our ethical stances on collecting data about how users use packages and also what platforms they are on.

I think we should do something similar, provide a template basically and tell how/where the info should be presented to the users


leah: i really LOVE this idea of pyos having a badge on its package listing so users know what is being collected IF ANYTHING? that way we are super clear about that in our catalog so it's a value added element. We can also ask maintainers to add a badge / template to their README file and some standard language in there as well.
