Pypi deprecating things that don't need to be deprecated?

Python Help

Hi.

I noticed today that my bloom-filter module on pypi ( bloom-filter · PyPI ) includes the following text at the top:
Note: This project has gone unmaintained for a while, please use the more up-to-date project at: - GitHub - remram44/python-bloom-filter: Bloom filter for Python · GitHub - bloom-filter2 · PyPI

It’s not unmaintained at all. I use it every day with great results.

What happened? Why does it say that? Why didn’t someone try to contact me before deprecating it?

Thanks.

Are you sure you’re looking at the right package? The readme for that package was updated 5 years ago to add that notice, and the author name listed on pypi doesn’t seem to match your name here.

This bloom filter package on the other hand seems to have a similar author name to yours: drs-bloom-filter · PyPI. It doesn’t include that text.

Yeah, you’re right. It looks like someone cloned mine and put their name on it. Weird.

Mine is at drs-bloom-filter · PyPI
