Are they expected to directly open an issue within GitHub - pypi/warehouse: The Python Package Index?

Well, yes.

Everything from feature requests, to PEP 541 requests are on the tracker. Anything that’s not an immediate security concern as per the security policy, goes there. w.r.t. flagging packages, that’s a feature request that’s a part of User support ticket system · Issue #3231 · pypi/warehouse · GitHub.

Alternatively, can they simply open a new topic on Discuss in this packaging category and allow those who are familiar with the packaging processes to help sort it out?

Also yes. I don’t think anyone minds it but they’ll likely get a quicker response on the issue tracker.
