Hi Jonathan,

I am very sorry that my first transition did not meet your expectations.

Indeed, I believe I've followed the right steps highlighted on the wiki 
and eventually got clearance for an upload, or so it seemed.

I am actively working on fixing pynfft. For yorick-nfft however, the
package has proven to be more resistant to simple API fixes, for which
only the package maintainer may actually provide a solution.

I take due notes of your remarks on where things got sideways and will
make sure this does not happen again for my next transitions.

Best regards,
Ghis
