Who is "he"?
- olliej 4y agothe maintainer of atomicwrites, the person that started this whole saga, I guess that I had assumed context was sufficient here. I've updated the original text.
- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoYou're misrepresenting the maintainer. He is using 2FA.
- olliej 4y agoNo I haven't. This maintainer got told that he needed to use 2FA for PyPI, instead of doing that most basic of actions he had a tantrum and removed his project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026624 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026624 So that he could continue to use PyPI's infrastructure to publish his work for free.
- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoI happen to work with that person so I had the enjoyment to watch this unfold as it happened. The maintainer thought the package would remain after deletion for existing users as it does for instance on crates.io. I also know that he uses 2FA.
