It's the premier Python package manager.

PyPI would sign the publisher's keys so that you could trust them without
having to worry about the connection. You could mirror the expected keys
this way.

Key revocation is an unrelated issue. A revoked key is still revoked even
if you can download a version of it that is not marked as revoked.
