CVE request: distutils creates ~/.pypirc insecurely

[Vincent Danen <vdanen () redhat com>]

Standard flaw where a file that contains a username and password is
written with insecure permissions.  This only affects python 2.6 and
higher.

Could a CVE name be assigned to this flaw?  I don't think one has been
already.
