Read the "Releasing the buffer" section in PEP 3118 again. Unless I'm misunderstanding you completely, the rules you're asking for are already in place: those fields are entirely the responsibility of the exporting object, and it needs to ensure they remain valid until the buffer is released. Now, it may be that we haven't implemented this correctly or consistently in the builtin objects, in which case we should do something about it. But the rules are there.
