To what end? As much as old packages cluttering the namespace of pypi
is annoying, the only thing that will accomplish is orphaning projects.
We cant unilaterally hand over names on pypi to unrelated.. or even
related.. projects because they have a name someone else wants.
Another solution like adding namespaces to pypi sounds better to me...
but then I think about the nightmare of implementing that in a backwards
compatible way.

I wonder, however, whether it would be reasonable to add an explicit
policy to PyPI (probably at the point of the switch to Warehouse)
requiring project owners to provide an active email address (where
"active" means, say, responding to an annual automated ping email to
confirm the project is still alive).
