trove-classifiers is the canonical source for `classifiers on PyPI
211+
<https://pypi.org/classifiers/>`_, which project maintainers use to
212+
`sytematically describe there projects
213+
<https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#classifier-multiple-use>`_
214+
so that users can better find projects that match their needs on the PyPI.
215+
216+
The trove-classifiers package contains a list of valid classifiers and
217+
deprecated classifiers(which are paired with the classifiers that replace
218+
them). Use this package to validate classifiers used in packages intended for
219+
uploading to the PyPI. As this list of classifiers is published as code, you
220+
can script using it, providing you with a more convenient workflow compared to
221+
referring to the `list published on PyPI <https://pypi.org/classifiers/>`_. The
222+
`issue tracker <https://github.com/pypa/trove-classifiers/issues>`_ for the
223+
project hosts discussions on classifiers such as requests for adding new
224+
classifiers.
