Dear Peter,
thanks for your answers.

I personally prefer PyPI where possible. Often the downloadable
packages vary slightly, and the PyPI packages go through some release
process, while GitHub tarballs are often auto generated from the repo
tags. Also the PyPI package usually corresponds to what people would
get, when installing with pip or easy_install. Occasionally however,
there is a good reason to prefer the GitHub version, mostly because
something was accidentally omitted from the PyPI package.
I think that I'll change py-python-poppler-qt4 to use PyPI.
Should I change the name of py-python-poppler-qt4 to
py-poppler-qt4?
I believe there is no explicit policy on this and you will find both
schemes amount existing ports. So port naming is mostly up to the
maintainer. I would rather prefer the shortened version, as the
"py-" prefix already implies "python". I tend to omit such
"py"/"python" parts when they appear in the original name, while
others might argue, it is better to stick with the original name.
Some extra hints might be taken from root module naming, which rarely
would include "python" to the name.
Indeed python-poppler-qt4 is imported with `import popplerqt4`.
Do you think that it is worth renaming the port?
Best wishes.
Davide
