I get the benefits of namespacing. I'm just not sure making it mandatory solves any issues. For example, what's stopping someone from publishing `@developit/greenlet` or `@greenlet/greenlet` without owning the respective org/username in github?

Nothing is stopping that. But for the downside of "having to type a little bit more", I think it's more than useful enough at what it does fix/solve. In other words, it solves between 0 and "a bunch" of problems for packages, and the downside is fixed at "needs to type a little more". Even in the worst case, it's not that much harm, but in the best case could prevent exploits.
