I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting other than "accept the terrible status quo". For what it's worth my personal use of rye predates the release by multiple years (not in this particular manifestation) and I held off releasing it for a very long time.

> The PyPA should shut down or merge some duplicate projects, and work with the community (including maintainers of non-PyPA projects) to build One True Packaging Tool. To make things easier. To avoid writing code that does largely the same thing 5 times. To make sure thousands of projects don’t depend on tools with a bus factor of 1 or 2.

I mean, I can also try to tell the PyPA to do a thing or two but that won't magically make it work. The PyPA is a bunch of separate individuals doing their thing and they are free to listen to people or ignore them. I do not have the power (nor do I believe I should) to force them to do a specific thing.
