Be careful.  If you have any detritus from your development activities,
such as "git format-patch" output, this will be added to MANIFEST by
fix_manifest, and if you then remove the files and run fix_manifest
again you get empty lines in the file and strange messages:

WARNING:root:Bundle Pippy: invalid entry in MANIFEST: 0001-add-MAINTAINERS-file.patch

Thanks for decision, patch below.
