The distutils-based packages are a good starting point. The name is a
good fit for that.
Looking forward, I think it might make sense to move some of the
functionality to a "core" python eclass that would just be for utility
functions -- similar to the python/distutils split we have now. This
would be used in ebuilds that are not primarily based around distutils
(setup.py).
