Well, I don't imagine that the NuGet admins will take that long to respond, but 
you never know. 72 hours sounds like a fair deadline.

I started with Contact us - and then did report abuse. Report abuse did have 
the ability to give an explanation - so I added it there. So duplicated my 
work. That's ok. Will give it another 72 hours (that ok with timelines?). 
Before escalating a step higher (Apache board / Legal)

Presscott,

I was just about to send an email regarding this.

I think it is important that we use the right language to explain to the powers 
that be at NuGet exactly what happened. Something along the lines of:

"We have been working on a version 4.8.0-beta00001 of Lucene.Net that has 16 
new NuGet packages. While we were in the process of preparing for the release, 
another user used an older, unstable version of our source code to build a 
version called "4.9.0" and uploaded it to NuGet with one of our intended 
package IDs "Lucene.Net.Analysis.Common". We have contacted the NuGet user, 
ferronrsmith about this but received no reply. This is now blocking our 
release, since we cannot release with our original package ID to a NuGet 
package that we don't currently own. It doesn't make sense for us to rename the 
package because this is a port from Java and we want to keep similar package 
names as the original. Furthermore, this is causing confusion among our users, 
as the user is masquerading this as an official package from Apache, even 
though it is not."

That said, I took a look at their "Report Abuse" feature and they don't have a 
way to give an explanation there. I think the best we can do is "The package 
owner is fraudulently claiming authorship", which should be enough to get some 
action started on this.

Thanks,
Shad Storhaug (NightOwl888)

It's been ~72 hours since I contacted Ferronrsmith (Nuget Package Owner). At 
this time, I'd like to bump it a level higher and contact Nuget Admins. 

Itamar, I don't want to duplicate your efforts though, did you get any response 
from him when you contacted him?

This is a bit of a problem, yes. I contacted him via the nuget website asking 
him to remove that package and work with us on an official release.
