As to the concept of a name being community owned vs. registrant owned -
I am very opposed to changing the rules mid-stream. If community
ownership is to be a thing (and I do not want it to be a thing at all,
but if it is), it should be *from this point forward* the names are
community owned.

If we mandated semver (or something like it) we could make it so that

somebody new won’t take over a project without their knowing about
it. However we haven’t historically mandated this and there are a lot
of projects using date based versions that would b very unhappy (in
addition to the fact upper pins often are major contributors to being
unable to resolve a version tree of dependencies).
Just want to raise my hand to be counted here among the people that
would be /extremely/ unhappy if PyPI started mandating semver.
