Both of you are right , but I agree with Mr. Ludvig Ericson opinion (> 90%). The package author probably has no «right to demand control over what others say about her/his software» , but he has the right to decide where such comments should be posted and also if he/she wants to focus on (opinions | comments | ... ) or more useful feedback like issues or support request . For example, in my case, I prefer to have either custom ticket types in the project's Trac environment or a plugin to receive this kind of feedback *in the project's site* . IMHO PyPI is not the right place . /me probably wrong IMO -0.1 for votes and comments in PyPI and therefore +1 for including settings to let coders decide (somehow ;o) whether to allow this or not -- Regards, Olemis.
