Research direction
Start by reading PEP 808 to identify the metadata 2.6 requirements, then trace setuptools' metadata version handling and validation. Locate the existing metadata tests and add coverage for the new version; done means setuptools accepts and produces metadata 2.6 correctly without regressing supported versions.
