I'm currently in the process of packaging this into a conda-forge package. There, we prefer to build/install from the sdist on PyPI. Sadly, this runs into the following hurdles:

1. better-setuptools-git-version doesn't work with Python>=3.10
2. It actually assumes that it always runs from within a git repository. This is not the case for an sdist. Alternatives like setuptools-scm thus place the "rendered" version into the static metadata.

I'll propose to move to setuptools-scm like most other packages using setuptools and git versioning have done. I'm going to open a PR, but wanted to give more context here first.
