An index for deleted PyPI packages / versions

Just a heads up to any users that this likely contains a lot of malware and typosquats that PyPI admins have removed (e.g. https://dashboard.stablebuild.com/pypi-deleted-packages/pkg/yocolor).

Also: in case anyone reading would like PyPI to disallow deletion and has resources to apply towards development work, the PyPI team is interested in implementing https://github.com/pypi/warehouse/issues/11798 based on the proposal in https://discuss.python.org/t/stop-allowing-deleting-things-from-pypi/. You can email sponsors@python.org to get started.
