Project to be claimed

PROJECT_NAME: https://pypi.org/project/catfish

Your PyPI username

USER_NAME: https://pypi.org/user/ozkilic

Reasons for the request

I want to publish a framework that I developed and used to write a conference paper that will be presented at AAMAS and published this May. The framework is an online dating simulator and our publication is titled "Catfished! Impacts of Strategic Misrepresentation in Online Dating". Therefore, I want to use the name "catfish". As explained below, I could not find the package that prevents this.

Maintenance or replacement?

There is no project at https://pypi.org/project/catfish.

Contact and additional research

Following the error I got ("The name 'catfish' isn't allowed."), I found that there must be a project with a name considered too similar. However, reading the source code of "normalize_pep426_name" (the function used to find existing projects with similar names), I could not find a package that has a name such as "catf1sh" or "cat-fish". The closest package name I found was "catfishq".

Could you please provide the exact package name that conflicts with my proposed name? This will allow me to review the package and potentially contact the author. Thank you.
