There is already a note in the inspect.getmembers documentation
(http://docs.python.org/library/inspect.html#inspect.getmembers):

"""
Note

getmembers() does not return metaclass attributes when the argument is
a class (this behavior is inherited from the dir() function).
"""

In any case, open a tracker issue if you think the documentation needs
to be improved or that there might be a bug.
