I'm all for security but this hit a nerve with me:
"Success of the attack relies on negligence of the developer, or system
administrator, who does not check the name of the package thoroughly."
Package managers need to do more. If they had an enterprise version that you could subscribe to monthly/annually invoice that you would get enterprises onboard, they are concerned about security and will pay. Developers like us will help encourage it. I'd rather not see some third-party "secure" package managers but make them part of PyPi and send funding to the Python foundation. They are seeking donations but that doesn't work well with businesses. Make it a monthly/yearly service.
