Hi, I just read this on reddit[0], a thread asking if PyPI packages are audited and somebody pointed the `python-nation`[1] which is a harmful and useless module, installing itself and sending the `/etc/passwd` content to external endpoint.

The app receiving the data is hosted at http://python-nation.herokuapp.com and as the PSF mission [2] says The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language I wonder if there are some workgroup at PSF to handle this? and not only the specific case of `python-nation` which should be deleted and the user banned maybe, But also to handle the audit of other packages?
