Move `distlib` to PyPA org on PyPI?

Open webknjaz opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

With the orgs feature on PyPI, there's a PyPA org that exists already — https://pypi.org/org/pypa/. Why not make use of it?

UPD: Dustin explained the implications as an FAQ in the ML: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/E6MWIHEK3M232UILXGQFYPHGJHF7VYW7/.

What benefits does it confer? There are only three projects on there, none of them prominent.

See https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12250#issuecomment-1698025213 -- let's hold off on this.

Not sure if I'm missing anything... but it looks to me like distlib is under the pypa organisation now... can this be closed?

I think there's a distinction being made between the GitHub repo (already under pypa) and the PyPI project (not under any particular organisation).
