I had the absolute pleasure of working with dstufft for 6 or 7 months years ago and learned a ton from his breadth of knowledge and willingness to teach (and I had more than a decade of experience at the time). I can appreciate being unhappy with the situation and not agreeing with the approach, but personal attacks and assuming ill intent don't help. It is, of course, possible the developers actually do pay attention to the details and just see the issue better than you do.
I read that link at the time and I do wonder how you would address the issues he raises. The concern seems not so much not wanting to apply security but actually thinking about the underlying issues. Which is worse: an open but dangerous Pypi or one with a bunch of security theater around keys and hashes and other stuff everyone pays lip service to but never actually checks?
