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](https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3231).

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