Hi all, Apologies if this is not the proper channel for the following question.
I have a project that I would like to post on PyPI that clashes with an existing project that I believe may be abandoned (https://pypi.org/project/toybox/#description). According to this PEP (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/) it appears that the appropriate course of action is to attempt to contact the owner of this namespace and find out if they will transfer ownership to me. In the section of the PEP that discusses prior art, there is a reference to cc'ing folks from npm when analogous issues arise over in JS land. It isn't clear to me from this PEP or its resolution what the proper procedure for pursuing ownership of a claimed, but possibly abandoned namespace is for PyPI. Is there an email address I should cc when contacting the namespace owner? How does one initiate an official request for an abandoned namespace? Thanks!
