As a follow-up to #905, this:

1. Defines more package metadata statically.
   1. The license field will come in a second PR as the version of setuptools that comes with Python 3.11 doesn't support the newer form of being a string. Upgrading to a newer version works but then we encounter an issue with build isolation behavior, so saving the fix for that separately with a minimal diff.
2. Added myself to the list of maintainers.
3. Ignored one of our examples for now in Ruff because the linter somehow started working properly with statically defined metadata.
