Re: Bug#791635 python-policy: Please require namespacing source python module packages
Do we really have to have this argument again? Let's not. Please wontfix and let's move on.
Personally, I maintain 25 packages in the team that would need renaming. I'm not sure how many total there are, but they'd all have to go through New again.
It'd be much simpler just to drop DPT or myself from uploaders and ignore this, so that's probably the path I would take.
Regardless, I don't think this is an appropriate use of FTP Team time/energy.
Also, as I've said before on this topic, every packaging rule is a barrier to entry for new contributors. We really shouldn't add things that aren't needed.
