-feat: Include tests and docs in sdist archives
-
-Include documentation and test files in source distributions, in order to make them more useful for
-  packagers (Linux distributions, Conda). Testing is an important part of packaging process, and at
-  least Gentoo users have requested offline documentation for Python packages. Furthermore, the
-  COPYING file was missing from sdist, even though it was referenced in README.
-
 - Small cleanups to cache cleanup interval
