Wouldn't my suggestion or Glyph's be easier for the maintainers? That
way they wouldn't even have to make a new release, just modify a setting
on the package settings page on PyPI.
Also, are you going you see the warning if it's emitted on installation?

Perhaps, before anyone tries to make pip doing something mechanical

people an interstitial that says "This package is no longer
maintained, please use $X instead" would be very informative.

I don't remember the last time I used the pypi website. I use pypi
every day. I don't know if I am weird, but redirecting web views
would do nothing for me. Redirecting packages is pure evil.
I really think the best course of action is for the maintainer to
release a final version of the package that warns on install and import.
