If someone would document srichter's magic grant-all-powerful PyPi script, I'd run it :)
That's a horrible thing to do to somebody!
Note that I'm not smiling, either. It's too easy to grant people access to way too many packages that way. Somebody ran it for me, without my knowledge, and I learned about a lot of packages I'd never heard of before. That just makes PyPI harder to use when updating something I *am* actually a maintainer for.
On the other hand, it got me to prod for a fix to the PyPI bug that didn't let me remove myself from those projects.
There's both sides: - Once you have access and can release a new version, your mental excuse / barrier for not doing so gets lower. - By having too many, you don't care about any of them anymore. But I think we are still sufficiently few people working on the ZTK, so we can grant all of them access to all ZTK packages. I don't want to give anyone access to all the packages I have. That's Zope + Plone + personal combined and by now about 350 packages. Makes a total mess out of the PyPi UI. But giving people who work on refactoring the ZTK access to the ZTK packages should be fine. Hanno
