Packaging Work Group receives funding from OTF for PyPI
The Python Software Foundation (https://python.org/psf-landing) Packaging
Working Group (https://www.python.org/psf/committees/#packaging-work-group)
has applied for and received a commitment from the Open Technology Fund
(https://www.opentech.fund/) to fulfill a contract via their Core
Infrastructure Fund (https://www.opentech.fund/funds/core-infrastructure-fund/)
.
This project aims to improve the security and accessibility of PyPI
(https://pypi.org/) for all users worldwide, whether they are direct users,
like project maintainers and pip install (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) ers,
or indirect users.
We plan to begin the project in January 2019. Because of the size of the
project, funding has been allocated to secure one or more contractors to
complete the development, testing, verification, and assist in the rollout of
necessary features.

2018 AoE (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe) .
