> There needs to be some extra step, be it a fee, identity confirmation, manual moderation/approval, or something else. I'm sure the PyPA devs/maintainers have ideas. When I was younger, I always thought computing was so incredibly cool, because me, just some blind kid in Florida, could contribute and make things and share things and just ...participate. I would talk to friends trying to go in to other careers, and excitedly talk about what I was working on and be curious why they never did anything related to what they wanted to do when they grew up. Now, I understand how this comes about, bit by bit, with the best of intentions. And I hate it. Please, just no.
If you want to set up a corporate only, super-sekret clubhouse of a PyPi that only the authorized developers can push to, well, the source code for PyPi is right here[0]! And here's Stripe[1]!
But please don't break even more of the open, free Internet that I grew up with, I'm pleading with you. [0]: https://github.com/pypi/warehouse [1]: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register |
