What's the problem this feature will solve?

The PyPI help page describes what to do in case you hit the package upload size limit. But there's apparently no public document or page that says: "File upload limit is X".
There are issues talking about 60MB, which is probably a good guess, because it's the MAX_FILESIZE set by default in the code. But the file in which it is set is called legacy.py so there's still doubt.
Also, an issue that says that the file upload limit is X in 2017 doesn't mean that the file size limit hasn't been changed since.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think that under the "How do I get a file size limit exemption or increase for my project?", there could be a mention of what's the current file size limit, in order to make it clear for project maintainers.
