Personally I’m in favour of a solution along this line. There were multiple threads around this exact topic:
- Namespace support in pypi
- PyPI as a Project repository vs. Name registry (a.k.a. PyPI namesquatting, e.g. for Fedora packages) (more concrete)
The discussion has died down, but I think people are still interested in seeing that happen. The biggest roadblock is likely someone with enough incentives to drive the discussion forward.
