As someone also in the top percentile of package maintainers I understand your
annoyance, but just make a filter for don...@python.org for the day or
something. The vast majority of PyPI users have only one package so asking us
to derail the sending (probably resulting in having to begin again) is
unhelpful. If the only cost to us all is hitting Ctrl-A Delete, I welcome
progress with open arms.
Are you not concerned that various bits of python.org involved in this process
are going to start getting hit by RBLs and other spam filtering that will cause
problems down the line as a result of all this noise?
No, because only a very small number of people are going to be getting more
than a handful of these, and any user with 50+ packages is hopefully enough of
a power-user to not fly off the handle.
That's not what I'm referring to; how much mail has actually been sent?
MTAs end up being blacklisted automatically by ISPs and RBLs if they
heuristically look like they're spewing spam. It's what companies like
MailChimp and co spend their lives working around.
