> 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.
