ISTM that it would be better to be able to add new such URLs one by one, e.g. through a web form. I don't think that's a feasible approach, e.g. eGenix typically creates around 50 distribution files for every single release of a product. In most cases, only the version number changes, so

I think it would be generally useful if old releases included a warning in the PyPI interface (some prominent box that said This is an old release! The newest release is a href=X.YX.Y/a). They do already. It's actually pretty easy to get unintentionally to an old release via search
